"An intelligent, creative, imaginative, original writer." Hyland & Byrne
Antek is an Egg Boy from Batch 47, one of the general's manmade soldiers. He doesn't know what the general's lab technicians have repurposed him for but one thing is certain: Batch 47 is an active experiment. Antek can be 'cancelled' any time.
Zorry is a Sinta slave in the general's New Bavarnica, where it's a crime to remember the dead and all surviving Sinta must bow and serve the OneFolk. She searches the killing forest every night for the predatory plants which can be 'turned'.
Jengi is the last surviving member of the war-like Digger tribe, and the leader of Bavarnica's resistance. But grief has changed Jengi. The Last Digger has led a double life for so long he forgets himself entirely some days. What he's for. Who to trust.
Between the stolen rains and the encroaching desert, the living fence to catch runaways and rebels and the shopkeeper's sinister control over the edge farms, it seems that the general and the village shopkeeper have the people by the throat. But then nothing is quite as it appears in Bavarnica.
