Perseus Spur

A gripping sf adventure from the acclaimed author of The Pliocene Exile series. 'I was living in pleasant anonymity under the name of Helmut Icicle; taking smartass sport-divers out on holocam trips around the reefs of Kedge-Lockaby. Fourteen thousand light years away from civilization; K-L's a freesoil planet way out in the boondocks; and that's the way I like it: it makes life easier if no-one asks nosy questions. 'So one minute there I was; subbing around Brillig Reef; the next thing I know; some giant sea-toad has eaten my house and I'm caught up in a galactic conspiracy! From gently coaxing an ageing submersible around the shores of K-L to piloting a state-of-the-art Javelin starship may seem like a big jump: but when it looks as if the future course of human civilization is under threat; it's a hell of a motivator.' Perseus Spur delivers everything readers have come to expect from worldwide bestseller Julian May: galactic scope; high adventure; humour; and complex political intrigue in a finely worked balance.
