About this title

From the Back Cover:

THE SENSATIONAL SEQUEL TO THE TRIPLE AWARD WINNING 'TAKE BACK PLENTY'
SHE HAD NO PLACE TO CALL HER OWN
SO SHE STOLE HERSELF A WORLD.

Space Captain Tabitha Jute is the hero of the solar system. She has defeated the Capellan overlords and liberated the gigantic alien spaceship known as Plenty. Now begins the first human voyage to another star – a journey that will take the strange ship and her motley complement of passengers and crew far into unknown reaches of time and space.

But Tabitha’s triumph is short lived. Her artificial workmate Alice is no longer the humble ship’s persona she once knew and loved. Amid rumbles of violence and threats of mutiny, people are starting to disappear. And just who is the dark haired saboteur in the long black coat?

In the cavernous, honeycombed depths of Plenty, nothing is as it seems ...

“This is cyberspace opera at its sparkling best: gritty, violent, colourful and unpredictable”
NEW SCIENTIST

About the Author:

Award winning Colin Greenland was born in Dover in 1954 and wrote his first book, about a fire-engine that laid an egg, at the age of five. Since then he has written ‘The Hour of the Thin Ox’, which the ‘Guardian’ said ‘could be a classic’; and its successor, ‘Other Voices’, written to a soundtrack of the Cure, Dead Can Dance, New Order and the Cocteau Twins, which was hailed as ‘a short, sharp and moving tale with an acrid and lingering aftertaste.’
