Description
Purgatory Mount is an interstellar craft decelerating after its century-long voyage to V538 Aurigae, a now-empty planet dominated by a colossal megastructure. The ship's crew of five hopes to discover the purpose behind this massive structure.
The crew's investigation leads them to call the world Dante, and their search for answers becomes entangled with the struggles of life on Earth, where a neurotoxin has affected many people's memory function, leaving them reliant on their phones as makeshift memory prostheses.
This novel combines wry space opera and fast-paced thriller elements, exploring themes of memory, atonement, exploration, and passion. Purgatory Mount is Adam Roberts's first SF novel for three years, offering a unique reading experience that sets it apart from other works in the genre.
