‘Exciting…Accessible to the average reader as well as the hardcore SF fan. This is a work sure to keep the reader on the edge of her seat.’ — Romantic Times Bookclub’For my money, Ken Mac Leod is the current champion of the very smartest kind of New Space Opera… every variation on his themes produces something worth re-reading.’ — Locus Centuries after its catastrophic Deliverance, humanity is again reaching into space. And one young scholar working in the space ship yard, Clovis colha Gree, could make the difference between success and failure. For his mysterious lover, Merrial, has seduced him into the idea of extrapolating the ship’s future from the dark archives of the past.A past in which, centuries before, Myra Godwin faced the end of a different space age — her rockets redundant, her people rebellious, and her borders defenceless against the Sino-Soviet Union. As Myra appealed to the falling empires of the West for help, she found history turning on her own dubious past — and on her present decisions. Decisions which, centuries later, will determine the future of the new space age. Merrial’s people, the itinerant computer engineers, know this. And they know that the truth they seek lies within the secret files left by Myra Godwin.Set hundreds of years in the future, THE SKY ROAD is the astonishing story of the dawn of a new space age, from the most exciting British SF author to have emerged in recent years.Books by Ken Mac Leod:Fall Revolution The Star Fraction The Stone Canal The Cassini Division The Sky Road Engines of Light Cosmonaut Keep Dark Light Engine City Corporation Wars Trilogy Dissidence Insurgence Emergence Novels The Human Front Newton’s Wake Learning the World The Execution Channel The Restoration Game Intrusion Descent
