Description

Sundogz, the latest installment in Mark von Schlegell's System Series, is set among the water-rich moons of planet Uranus during Earth's full collapse. In this third novel, von Schlegell explores the contours of time, memory, perception, and control in a cybernetic world that blends nineteenth-century realism, Shakespearean-style wit, and classic fantasy. The story follows characters as they navigate an aquatic world of extraordinary scope and ambition, entirely invisible to the System at large. A spaceship en route to Moon Miranda sends out a party to explore rumors of a secret fish farm in the λ ring, leading to a desperate struggle for survival. As the characters traverse this complex world, they must confront the possibilities of the imagination's survival in centuries to come. Von Schlegell's System Series has moved backward in time, investigating the themes that emerge off-world in the twenty-second and twenty-third centuries during Earth's full collapse. Sundogz is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, set against the backdrop of an otherworldly environment.
