Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

IF THE ONE THING THAT MAKES YOU WHO YOU ARE IS TAKEN FROM YOU, WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?______________________________________________________________________________________Grub Teng is unique. As the world's only living Psychitect, he can produce designs for living things from his unconscious mind. In a world where the vast majority of non-human biological life died out after an event known as The Crash, this is a pretty valuable skill.But after suffering an horrific accident whilst working for the Nunes-Elessia Psychitecture Corporation, Grub loses his psychic gift and is unceremoniously sacked. Disfigured and half-mad with grief, he falls in with the cyber-terrorists of T-127, who promise vengeance against the corporation that stole his gift and discarded him like trash.But when T-127's raid on the Corporation turns bloody and the streets run with unleashed beasts, Grub discovers their revolution wants more than justice. It wants the apocalypse buried inside his mind._______________________________________________________________________________________________

The Hole In The Sky is the thrilling new novel from Dan Jones, which sees him return to science fiction and add layers of body horror, mystery, and surrealism in an epic journey through a future world filled with organic robots, jacked-up cyber terrorists, corporate intrigue, and horrifying monsters cultivated in the darkest recesses of the human mind.

It asks big questions: are we truly free, or are we only ever doing the bidding of others? Regardless of the answer, how much purpose do we have in either situation? In a world where we are only just coming to terms with the ethical implications of AI and its constructs, The Hole In The Sky is a timely burst of existential fiction that reiamgines the answer to that age-old question: what does it mean to be human?

Spread over two parts, this wild duology will certainly appeal to fans of Blade Runner and John Carpenter's The Thing, as well as NK Jemisin's The Fifth Season; Philip K Dick's Minority Report, and William Gibson's Neuromancer.
