It is the late 21st century, and it is a very different world. Meet Kendrick Gallmon, survivor of The Maze, a secret research facility where thousands of political prisoners became unwilling guinea pigs in experiments to create the perfect soldier. Kendrick is trying to pick up the pieces of his life, even though he knows his nervous system, which is riddled with unstable nanotech augmentations, is slowly killing him. Then one day, his heart stops beating, forever. A ghost urges him to return to the source of all his nightmares a long-abandoned military complex filled with the entirely real voices of the dead.

Gary Gibson's first novel, Angel Stations, was published in 2004. Interzone called it "dense and involving, puzzling and perplexing. It's unabashed science fiction, with an almost "Golden Age" feel to it ..." His second novel was Against Gravity in 2005; the Guardian described it as "building on current trends to produce a convincing picture of the world in 2096." Stealing Light was first published in 2007, and garnered a wide range of positive reviews. The London Times called it: "A violent, inventive, relentlessly gripping adventure ... intelligently written and thought-provoking". Stealing Light is the first volume in a four-book space opera, the final volume of which, Marauder, was published in 2013. To date, Gary has written ten novels, most recently Extinction Game and its sequel, Survival Game.
