Synopsis

Shale is dying. A vast, chaotic, monster-bearing storm known only as the Roil is expanding, consuming the land. The last humans are fighting back with ever more bizarre new machines, but the Roil seems unstoppable. Whole cities have been consumed—where once there were twelve, now only four remain.

It’s up to a decadent wastrel, a four thousand year-old man, and a young woman bent on revenge, to try to save their city—and the world.

About the Author:

Trent Jamieson claims to be a bit lazy and a bit vague, and if he could have a superpower, it would be to be a little bit less lazy and a little bit less vague. Oh, and he's won a couple of awards - even people that are a little bit lazy, and a little bit vague, can win those too. We don't believe a word of it, of course. The author lives in Brisbane, Australia.
