Publisher Description

THE QUIET WAR
Who decides what it means to be human?

Twenty-third century Earth has been ravaged by climate change, and is now dominated by a few powerful families, with millions of people in prison and millions more labouring to rebuild ruined ecosystems. Meanwhile on Jupiter and Saturn, live the Outers. They have built a wild variety of scientific utopias crammed with exuberant creations of the genetic arts. Now they want to colonise Earth and drive human evolution in a new direction.

On Earth, some want to launch a pre-emptive strike against the Outers while others wish to exploit the talents of the gene wizards. It is clear that the fragile detente between the two branches of humanity is breaking down and they may be heading towards war . . .

GARDENS OF THE SUN
The Quiet War is over.
A century of enlightenment, rational utopianism and exploration of new ways of being human has fallen dark.
But victory is fragile, and riven by vicious internal politics. While seeking out and trying to anatomise the strange gardens abandoned in place by Avernus, the Outers' greatest genius, the gene wizard Sri Hong-Owen is embroiled in the plots and counterplots of the family that employs her. The diplomat Loc Ifrahim soon discovers that profiting from victory isn't as easy as he thought. And in Greater Brazil, the Outers' democratic traditions have infected a population eager to escape the tyranny of the great families who rule them.

After such a conflict only one thing is clear. No one can escape the consequences of war - especially the victors.

Customer Reviews

DonaldFRobertson ,

If you like The Expanse, try these.

‪These are some of the best novels I've read. Literary, yet the most convincing portrait of how a human ecology in the outer planets could actually work - they're written by a biologist. If you like The @ExpanseOnPrime, check these out. Highly, highly recommended.‬
