“Guy Haley is a hidden gem
of British SF” – Paul Cornell
“A very good writer, with
an infectious love for sci-fi that shines off every page” – The Guardian
Unalloyed greed, markets dictating the will of humanity – when the Crash
comes, survival itself will hang in the balance.
In a topical science-fiction take on the world’s economic woes,
breakthrough author Guy Haley envisages a society in utter thrall to commerce,
which must constantly expand to sustain itself. When a mission to the stars
begins to go wrong, the fragility of human society and progress is exposed.
The Market rules all and mankind, trapped by a rigid hierarchy of
wealth, bends to its whim. A bold venture to the stars is begun, but when the
colony fleet is sabotaged a small group finds itself marooned upon a world
where one hemisphere is bathed in perpetual daylight, the other hidden by
eternal night. Isolated and beset, the stricken colony members must fight for
survival on the hostile planet.
Haley’s first book for Solaris, Champion
of Mars, was described by SF legend Stephen Baxter as “a
novel with an ambition on the scale of Olympus Mons itself, and it delivers.
Recommended.” Packed full of ideas while
maintaining a very human voice, Crash
is complex, exciting, vastly entertaining and with a topical edge.
