'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 MacLeod 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.
