From Hugo Award winning author Tim Pratt comes a new, high-concept space opera, exploring technology, family and the price we pay to follow our destiny, perfect for fans of Peter F. Hamilton and Adrian Tchaikovsky.
After her grandmother is murdered in a home invasion, Tamsin Culver leaves her cushy programming job in San Francisco and returns to her Midwestern hometown to settle the estate. What she doesn’t expect is to find out her grandmother’s life changing secret: She’s not an earth native, but an exile from the Nigh-Space continuum, an adjacent reality with technology far more advanced than ours. What’s more, her grandmother ruled as an ogliarch, meaning Tamsin is the heir to a vast wealth only accessible by someone from her bloodline... but the enemies who tried to exterminate her family won’t be happy to see her return.
Back in the Bay Area, grad student Glenn makes a startling discovery about his girlfriend Vivy. She’s a secret agent for the Interventionists: an inter dimensional organisation devoted to protecting the inhabitants of Nigh-Space from those trying to take advantage of the wealth of technology. When she lands in trouble, Glenn finds himself on a sapient starship in a distant level of the continuum, hell bent on saving her. But when the ancestor of a previously exiled ruler returns, keeping each other out of harm’s way may be harder than they first anticipated.
The Knife and the Serpent is an all new epic space opera about the clash between opposing universes and worldviews, from award winning and highly acclaimed author Tim Pratt.
