Description

The aliens are here. And they want to help. In this extraordinary new project from acclaimed science fiction novelist Paul McAuley, humanity has been given fifteen worlds and the means to reach them. However, these gift-worlds come with their own set of challenges and dangers. Chloe Millar's work in London involves mapping changes caused by imported scraps of alien technology. When she stumbles upon a pair of orphaned kids possessing an ancient ghost, her priorities are put to the test. Meanwhile, policeman Vic Gayle is investigating a murder on one of the Jackaroo's gift-worlds, where rival gangs are fighting over possession of a remote excavation site. As Chloe and Vic delve deeper into their respective cases, they begin to uncover a connection between the visions of the orphans and the murder investigation. Something is coming through, but what it is, and whether it will challenge the limits of the Jackaroo's benevolence, remains to be seen.
