Certitude

Beschreibung

Humanity is on the move. A sphere of Verity Space is consuming the Earth at an inexorable creep. A single city resists, slowing the advance in a seemingly hopeless war of attrition. Refugees pour into the Yakini's caravan of misfit buildings as Jose, Nomia and their band of Nodes wrestle against inevitable destruction. Bergur & Sera travel to a Mars seeking fresh supplies of a bio-weapon inexplicably effective against the Eidolons. Reeling after their own brush with annihilation, the Martians are more interested in internal squabbles than in helping their former overlords on Earth. Mex and Julienne, drawn together by their differences, are wrestling to share a single mind, even as they battle to thwart the death throes of a corporate paradigm. All the characters of the Verity Trilogy come together in Certitude; humanity's ultimate struggle against erasure from reality. Some will flourish, while others will make the ultimate sacrifice.

Autor

Mark Bowman has spent most of his adult life juggling a passion for football with a career as a medical specialist in the treatment of infertility, in particular IVF.After watching the Socceroos qualify for their first World Cup in 1973 on TV with his father, he spent the next 32 years in torment watching repeated qualification failure every four years, usually from the terraces. In between those big-ticket games, there was little to cheer for internationally and domestically, because while he attended many National Soccer League matches, Mark had no true club to support apart from during the brief existence of Northern Spirit FC.Despite Australian football's successes since 2005 on the world stage and at long last, a club team to support in Sydney FC, Mark has long dreamt about alternative outcomes for the game he loves and has often wondered what might have been, under different circumstances.His late night musings, lateral thinking, love of both anecdotes and football culture more generally, finally came together in The Yawning Giant, which he is quite certain will be his only one and only novel.
