Bio-tech has arrived. It could pave the way to a greater future for humanity. It could also tear the human race apart.

Before the bio-terror attack, Darkome was a place where DIY genetics enthusiasts could communicate in peace. After the attack, they were pushed deep underground by a brutal government response. The perpetrators are on Darkome, and the biohacker community is simply too dangerous to be allowed to exist.

Unfortunately, that community is the very thing David Adler needs. His daughter Inara is dying and, through Darkome, he might just be able to save her. The only problem is, the bioterrorists are still out there, and they are by no means finished.

David's quest to save his daughter may put him right in their path.

Hannu Rajaniemi

Hannu Rajaniemi is a name that echoes through the corridors of modern science fiction, his stories weaving intricate plots with mind-bending ideas that challenge the very fabric of reality. Born in Finland, Rajaniemi’s deep love for speculative fiction was nurtured from an early age. As a child, he was captivated by the expansive worlds of science fiction and fantasy, and these early influences would go on to shape his distinct narrative voice.

What sets Rajaniemi apart in the world of science fiction is his ability to combine complex, high-concept ideas with deeply human emotions. His debut The Quantum Thief, the first book in the Jean le Flambeur series, dazzles with its intricate world-building, a universe where digital identities, memories, and post-human technologies collide. But Rajaniemi’s genius lies in how he uses these speculative elements to explore questions of identity, free will, and the nature of intelligence—questions that feel as relevant to our world as they do to his far-flung futures.

Before turning to fiction, Rajaniemi studied mathematics and theoretical physics, and these disciplines seep into his writing, lending his work a grounded complexity that’s rarely found in the genre. His books don’t just introduce strange new technologies or alien landscapes—they ask readers to rethink what it means to be human in an age of artificial intelligence and interstellar exploration.

Rajaniemi’s works, including The Fractal Prince and The Causal Angel, are a stunning fusion of philosophical musings and hard science fiction. His writing moves at a breakneck pace, with the kind of intrigue and tension that makes the pages practically turn themselves. Yet it’s not just the fast-paced action or the mind-expanding ideas that keep readers hooked—it’s the way Rajaniemi explores the ways in which technology and humanity intersect and evolve. Whether it’s the battle for control of one’s own memories or the implications of digital immortality, his work feels deeply personal, even as it gazes into the farthest reaches of the future.

In addition to his popular Jean le Flambeur series, Rajaniemi’s short stories continue to make waves, further cementing his place as one of the most innovative voices in modern science fiction. His writing is a masterclass in world-building, filled with complexity but never leaving the reader behind. Rajaniemi has crafted a universe that’s not just meant to be explored—it’s meant to challenge everything we think we know.

In his own words, Rajaniemi once said, “I want to write the kind of science fiction I’d love to read—speculative, adventurous, and full of ideas that make you think long after the book is finished.” With each novel, he does just that—leaving readers not only thrilled, but also with a new perspective on the future and the endless possibilities it holds.
