“Europe in Autumn is the work of a
consummate storyteller and combines great characters, a cracking central idea,
and a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Excellent.” – Eric
Brown
A fractured Europe, a cook-turned-spy, a mighty web of espionage – but
what happens when conspiracy threatens to overwhelm even reality itself?
Europe in Autumn is a dystopian
SF espionage thriller that evokes the Cold War novels of John Le Carré and the
nightmarish world of Franz Kafka, taking place in a war and disease-torn Europe
of hundreds of tiny nations.
Rudi is a cook in a Kraków restaurant, but when boss asks him to help a
cousin escape from the country he’s trapped in, a new career – part spy, part
people-smuggler – begins.
Recruited by the shadowy organisation Les Coureurs des Bois, Rudi is schooled in espionage. When he is
sent to smuggle someone out of Berlin and finds a severed head inside a locker
instead, a conspiracy begins to wind itself around him.
With kidnapping, double-crosses and a map that constantly re-draws
itself, Europe in Autumn is a modern science
fiction thriller like no other.
