In twenty first century Europe, endlessly ravaged by the changes of war and technology, gene hacker Alex Sharkey is barely a step ahead of the police and the Triads. But when he helps a scarily super-smart little girl called Milena to turn a genetically engineered Doll into the first of a new, autonomous species, the Fairies, he doesn't realise he's giving history a dangerous shove.
Milena has her own reasons. Some of the folk, as fey and malign as any in legend, have other ideas about their destiny . . .
Paul J. McAuley is a winner of the Arthur C. Clarke award.
