Sleeping Worlds Have No Memoryby Yaroslav Barsukov“Mind-expanding”—Kirkus, starred review. When Minister Shea Ashcroft refuses the queen’s brutal order to gas a rioting crowd, he’s exiled to the borderlands with an impossible task: overseeing the construction of the largest defensive tower in history. Propped by volatile anti-gravity technology borrowed from a race of Drakiri refugees, the tower is as dangerous as it is monumental. As Cold War-esque tensions between countries escalate, Shea forms an unlikely alliance with a Drakiri woman who reminds him of someone he lost. Drakiri hate and fear the tower; they say it mirrors one from their past, a structure that nearly led to their extinction by opening a gateway to an unimaginable threat. Fighting memories and hallucinations, Shea must make a choice. If he defies his orders, his future will be destroyed. If he doesn’t, everyone may be. $4.99 |
