Part of Series

Pacific Rim meets Fast & Furious. Nobody has taken part in the Devil's Run annual road race as often as Dutch McGuire and lived to tell the tale. She's never won a race, but she'd give anything for a chance to be first across the finishing line. The racecourse circumnavigates the post-apocalyptic ruins of Teijouan, and with a choice between being eaten by the monstrous Kaiju that prowl the island's devastated cities or murdered by her fellow racers, the odds against even surviving another Run, let alone winning it, are slim. Dutch doesn't care about the odds nearly so much as she cares about getting back behind the wheel of her beloved Ford Falcon—except for one problem: she's spent the last five years incarcerated in a high-security prison for her part in a heist. So when a crooked billionaire offers to put her back in the race on condition she uses it as cover for a secret retrieval operation, she can't refuse. Can Dutch survive assassins, monsters, and psychopathic drivers long enough to complete her mission as well as take part in the race—or is this the year death finally catches up with her in a blazing tangle of wreckage?

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.
