Sequel to 'Shadow Hunter'.
A strange new world . . .
After wars and ecological catastrophes have devastated whole regions of the Earth, most men and women have retreated into high-tech hive-cities. In the dangerous Wasteland outside, a strange new hybrid version of humanity, the Pobla, has established itself precariously, avoiding as far as possible contact with conventional homo sapiens civilisation. With good reason: in the past, regular mankind has displayed distinctly genocidal impulses towards the Pobla.
But now the Pobla are, bizarrely, flocking in droves to death-camps on the frontiers of ordinary humanity's domain. Why this should be so is just the first of the fascinating and explosive mysterious in this enthralling novel of a time only a few generations from now . . .
Set in the same brilliantly imagined post-apocalyptic world as Will Baker's first novel of tomorrow, 'Shadow Hunter', this is a totally compelling epic of intrigue, conflict and passion in a violent, complex future that is recognizably rooted in our own unstable times.
