When the ex-wife of Ray Thomas' sworn enemy hires him to find her daughter, the private detective soon learns there's more to the illegal implant technology known as Proxy than body-swapping. Proxy dealer Elijah wants to know who's trying to kill him, and how it's connected to a new kind of Proxy that's hit the streets. What they each discover on the streets of a near-future London crippled by multiple pandemics has the potential to change the course of civilisation...so long as they can stop the wrong people getting their hands on it first. Described by The Guardian as "a master of core sf" and "one of our best exponents of hardcore sf adventure" by the Daily Mail, Gary Gibson's career stretches over twenty years and fifteen books, including Stealing Light, Extinction Game and Echogenesis. Originally from Glasgow, Scotland, he now lives in Taipei.
