Emerald to Ice

3186, a thousand light-years away: two factions of exiled humans co-operate on a desperate mission to a dangerous new world.

Because Nyuki is the home of the humbles, and the previous contact ended in disaster.

On the eve of the mission, a new, deadly threat emerges, threatening human and humble alike. The Zungui have returned from the depths of space and are poised for total colonisation.

"Our protagonists face a battle against time and the elements.... Emerald to Ice contains that traditional sense of wonder whilst engaging with some very modern concerns." -From the foreword by Liz Williams.

"Matt's ability to conjure a fantastic landscape and people it with interesting but strange people is unparalleled." -Paul Brazier.
