Publisher Notes
Sudden death is the normal way of life in Spatterjay. To this remote planet come three travellers with very different missions. Janer is directed by the hornet Hive-mind, Erlin comes to find the sea captain who can teach her to live, and Keech has unfinished business with a notorious criminal.
Media Reviews
"The whole impressive, ingenious enterprise hurtles along at a high-octane clip while swinging with nonchalant abandon between horror and comedy: call it black slapstick. In sum: a blast." (starred review)
