"A minor masterpiece that should usher Brooke at last into the recognized front ranks of SF writers" (Locus) The village: a close-knit community where everyone knows everyone else. Here, houses can be grown out of the dirt; livestock and the sub-human mutts can be changed into something else, something other; and fleshy, drastically mutated Oracles guide humankind on the delicate path of survival. The wildlands: the land between human settlements where animals that are not animals live among plants that are not plants, and people who might not be people live in fear of human intervention. Out here organic AIs grow in the wildlands, either worshiped or feared; trees sing to each other; and tempting, dark fruit hang from the branches. Out here nothing can be trusted, nothing is necessarily as it seems, and no sane human would ever want to set foot. Out here is Flint's missing sister. Genetopia is the story of a young man in search of his possibly abducted sister in a far future where nano- and biotechnology have transformed and accelerated the evolution of humans and their strangely altered surroundings. In this world, you can never take anything - or anyone - at face value. Illness and contact with the unknown are always to be feared, as viruses re-engineer genes and germ cells, migrating traits from species to species through plague and fever. Humankind lives in isolated communities, connected by trade routes, and always fighting to keep the unclean at arm's length. But if Flint is to find his sister he must brave the fevers, the legendary beasts, the unknown. He must enter strange communities and seek help in the most unlikely places. He must confront both his own dark past and the future of his kind. He must go into the wildlands. Flint's story is the story of the last true humans, and of the struggles between those who want to defend their heritage and those who choose to embrace the new. But Flint doesn't see it like that: he just wants to find his sister.

Julia Landsfield is missing. Her kindred spirit and next door neighbor, Deidre O'Shaughnessy, who is a top-notch D.C. investigative reporter, won't rest until she finds her. Julia's parents are killed in a car accident when their car plunges off the 14th Street Bridge. Deidre, her father Congressman John Henry O'Shaughnessy and FBI agent Mike Callahan, along with a handful of intrepid souls, are about to uncover an unbelievable web of political corruption. The subsequent investigation follows a convoluted path through a Washington quagmire of politics, medicine and greed enabled by the machinery of a highly lucrative, organ harvesting trade. Project Genetopia's tentacles sink into far too many places, and its influence is too entrenched to go quietly into the night. There will be no opposition. The nation stands on the verge of a constitutional leadership crisis. The middle of the road is gone. Will ordinary people have the courage to do extraordinary things?

Both authors shortlisted for the 2013 Philip K Dick Award "The stories in this collection are among the best science fiction.

What follows is a terrifying journey across a hellish landscape towards a finale that might change the destiny of the Kryte and humanity, forever... Plus six other stories that examine the interface between human and alien - a parallax view from two of Britain's top science fiction writers, both shortlisted for the 2012 Philip K Dick Award.

"Keith Brooke's prose achieves a rare honesty and clarity, his characters always real people, his situations intriguing and often moving." World Fantasy Award-winner Jeff VanderMeer With his health failing, the great mage Donn has chosen to pass on his Talents to a new generation: an old era is drawing to a close, a new era about to begin. But with change comes instability. War looms and a rogue church leader threatens to set loose the wild powers of the First City. Donn's children must oppose this man but, also, they must contend with Donn himself: the old mage has not finished with his children yet. On the run from the religious repression of the mainland, Leeth Hamera joins a group of outcasts on the Serpent's Back, a continually changing island continent in the middle of a lava sea. Leeth has never lived up to the expectations of his wealthy merchant family and his only magical skill is the lowly Talent of bonding with animals. But, as he learns, the greatest Talents can sometimes be the slowest to emerge. The leader of the outcasts is Chi, son of Donn and the greatest healer of his generation. Chi is in exile for breaking the Embodied Church's edict against intervening in the natural order: many years ago Chi used his skills to revive his son from the dead. That son, Lachlan Pas, is now a church leader tortured by the guilty knowledge of what his father had to do to return him to life. When he learns Chi is still alive, he orders his execution, determined that his secret should never be exposed. Until now, Chi has been content to live in exile but now he knows that his son's insane and cruel rule must be stopped. Chi summons his half-siblings from throughout the inhabited lands of the Rift valley. The need for action is confirmed when one of them reveals that Lachlan and his mage, Oriole, are rebuilding the ancient city of Samhab - an act which will release the powers of the earth with unforeseeable consequences. Welcome to the magical island city of Zigané, endlessly adrift in the southern lava sea; the searing soda plains home of the Morani warriors; the impenetrable Zochi jungle, full of illusion and hidden hazard; the charmed fortress-like City of the Divine Wall; and Samhab, the fantastic First City of the True, built at the geographical centre of the Rift, where the magical powers of the earth rise up to be set free by the earth-charmers and mages. The novel's cast of shape-changers, earth-charmers, healers and illusionists must battle to save civilization from the evil rule of Lachlan Pas and his followers. For whoever controls the power of Samhab controls the future of the world. "A progressive and skilful writer." Peter F Hamilton, author of the Night's Dawn trilogy "In the recognized front ranks of SF writers." Locus

Canary Fever is a collection of reviews about the most significant literatures of the twenty-first century: science fiction, fantasy and horror: the literatures Clute argues should be recognized as the central modes of fantastika in our times. The title refers to the canary in the coal mine, who whiffs gas and dies to save miners; reviewers of fantastika can find themselves in a similar position, though words can only hurt us.

Dodge Mercer deals in identities, which is fine until the day he deals the wrong identity and clan war breaks out. Hope Burren has no identity, and no past, struggling with a relentless choir of voices filling her head. In a world where nothing is as it seems, where humans are segregated and aliens can sing realities and tear worlds apart, Dodge and Hope lead a ragged band of survivors in a search for the rumoured sanctuary of Harmony, and what may be the only hope for humankind.

When Mendel pioneered the early study of genetics, he probably never imagined anything like GENEXUS. Secretly funded and operated by VanGen Biotechnology Corporation, PROJECT GENEXUS is the design, creation, and maturation of six genetically engineered humans – males Derek, Dmitri, and David; and females Dianna, Daniela, and Dominique. Now ten years old, the GENEXUS children are already far superior to normal humans. They are faster, stronger and more agile; possess genius level IQs; and are resistant to virtually every known disease. They are distinguished by their light golden skin, pure white hair and jewel-colored eyes. Faced with the ethical risks and exorbitant costs of maintaining the illegal project, VanGen’s founder and CEO, Charles Lincoln Vandergellan, decides to terminate the initiative, and along with it the GENEXUS children. Athena Gianopoulos, a beautiful young geneticist assigned to work with one of the children, accidently learns of VanGen’s plans. In an attempt to save them from being euthanized, Athena smuggles the children off the GENEXUS campus and into hiding. Desperate to recover the children and keep the program a secret, VanGen dispatches its private security team to find the scientist and resolve the situation ... by any means necessary. Fast-paced action, nail-biting suspense, and exciting twist and turns await readers in this tale of scientific discovery, friendship, love, betrayal, and survival.
