Exclusive – Necropath by Eric Brown (chapter I)
Another exclusive for you in the debut week of our new design! Today we have a the first chapter from the forthcoming novel, Necropath, written by Eric Brown and being being published by Solaris Books.
Eric Brown is a British Science Fiction Award winner for Children of Winter (2001) and Hunting the Slarque (1999).
Synopsis for Necropath:
Bengal Station: an exotic spaceport that dominates the ocean between India and Burma. Jaded telepath, Jeff Vaughan, is employed by the spaceport authorities to monitor incoming craft from the stars. There, he discovers a sinister cult that worships a mysterious alien god. The Church of the Adoration of the Chosen One uses drugs to commune with the Ultimate, and will murder to silence those who oppose their beliefs. The story follows Vaughan as his mistrust of his fellow humans is overturned by his love for the Thai street-girl Sukura, while he attempts to solve the murders and save himself from the psychopath out to kill him. Necropath is Eric Brown’s triumphant return to hard SF.
I’d like to thank Mr. Brown and Solaris Books for allowing us to be the venue for this exclusive look!
