Exiles

£16.99

It is 2030, and a three-person human crew are on a ship travelling to Mars as part of a colonizing mission. Four years earlier, three robots were sent to the planet to build the base for the humans but when the human crew arrive, they discover a third of the base has been destroyed and only two of the three robots remain. When the humans question the robots, the robots offer two overlapping but different stories: the first believes they were attacked by a hostile extra-terrestrial ‘other’, the second attests the attack was the result of a violent malfunction on the part of the third robot – a being that still stalks the Martian desert. As the mystery slowly unravels, the humans and the robots play a deadly game of cat and mouse to find out the truth of what has happened at the base.

Description

*The new novel from the author of WILLIAM*

‘A propulsive gasp of a novel’ Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

‘I couldn’t put it down until the last twisting page’ Simone St. James, author of Murder Road

2030. The human crew sent to prepare the first colony on Mars arrives to find the new base half-destroyed and the three robots sent ahead to set it up in disarray.

In the four years since they arrived, the machines have formed alliances, chosen their own names and picked up some disturbing beliefs. Each robot must be interrogated. But one of them is missing.

As the astronauts close in on the truth, it dawns on them that in this barren, hostile landscape – where even the machines have nightmares – none of them is safe.

Exiles is a taut and terrifying one-sitting read from the critically acclaimed author of William.
