“Brown is at the height of
his powers. Very nearly perfect.”
– Stephen Baxter on Helix
“SF infused with a
cosmopolitan and literary sensibility... Accomplished and affecting.”
– Paul McAuley on Helix
Eric Brown is returning to the vast cosmos of The Helix in a blazing
sequel from Solaris!
The Helix is a vast spiral of ten thousand worlds turning around its
sun. Aeons ago, the enigmatic Builders constructed the Helix as a refuge for
alien races on the verge of extinction. Two hundred years ago, humankind came
to the Helix aboard a great colony ship, and the Builders conferred on them the
mantle of peacekeepers. For that long, peace has reigned on the Helix.
But when shuttle pilot Jeff Ellis crash-lands on the world of Phandra,
he interrupts a barbarous invasion from the neighbouring Sporelli – who scheme
to track down and exterminate Ellis before he can return to New earth and inform
the peacekeepers.
Eric Brown is widely acknowledged as one of the defining voices in
British SF – enter the mind-bogglingly vast universe of The Helix and discover
a world beyond even the scale of Arthur C. Clarke’s Rama or Larry Niven’s Ringworld.

Helix is a fast-paced action adventure novel following the plight of four humans when they crashland on what they think is a desolate, ice-bound planet. Daylight brings the discovery that the planet is one of thousands arranged in a vast spiral wound about a central sun. They set off to discover a more habitable, Earth-like world and come across strange races of aliens, and life-threatening perils, on their way.
