Description
Twenty years ago, Dr. Jasmine Marks went into the “Zone,” a growing band of rainforest where the heat and humidity make it impossible for warm-blooded animals to survive. There were deaths, and the programme was cut short. Now, they’re sending her back in – and there are things Marks’s corporate masters aren’t telling her.
“Tchaikovsky focuses the taut story in such a way that every detail is relevant, building towards a climax that feels like a perfect pay-off.” -- SFX Magazine on Firewalkers
“Tchaikovsky knocks it out the park… A cunning take on both fantasy tropes and heroes’ journeys. He sticks the landing, too, with a last paragraph that perfectly pays off what came before it.” -- Locus Magazine on Ogres
“A masterclass in concise storytelling... The book whips along at a rapid pace and characters are cleverly rendered. A fantastically easy read.” -- SciFiNow on Firewalkers
“An absurdly funny, sharply written novella... a must-read for genre newbies and sci-fi fans alike.” -- Starburst Magazine on One Day All This Will be Yours
“Readers with a bent for social commentary and solving puzzles will be doubly pleased.” -- Publishers Weekly on Ogres
