New Gods

Robin Triggs' psychological thriller transports us to the city of Australis, an industrial outpost set deep in the icy wilderness of Antarctica.

Freshly-demoted security officer Anders Nordvelt is hell-bent on finding the person who murdered his comrade. But the people of Australis are more concerned with evidence of atrocities carried out by the all-powerful Company, the organisation for whom they all labour.

As discontent threatens to break into outright rebellion, Anders struggles to walk the line between duty and justice. Having invested his life's work in the Company, he must surely back the status quo.

Yet the murderer is out there, and apparently targeting Anders. Is it a lone killer, or are they acting under orders?

As his superiors play a brutal game of politics, Anders must unmask the murderer before more die. In this fallen near-future world, the fate of the whole city may rest on his investigation.
