In the secluded house, an invisible presence watches over Victor Lazarus as he carries out the instructions of an unknown benefactor ...
In the village, Rusty Brown encounters a strange girl who tells him a secret that will haunt his dreams and lure him to the dark underworld of the city ...
In the city, Leonardo Pegasus tinkers with the Multiple Empathy Engine - a bizarre contraption of his own invention that enables the user to see the whole world without going anywhere ...

Review:

There is no faulting Cockayne's story telling. His style is direct and simple, yet very engaging. He seems as equally comfortable writing pathos and humor as he is at dealing with myths and violence. (SFREVU.COM)

A heady fusion of well-known fantasy tropes and the quiet oddness of everyday life, with a dash of social satire for good measure. (ZONE-SF.COM)

A laudable and immensely readable debut from a sparkling new voice (DIVERSEBOOKS.COM)

Steve Cockayne has created something fascinating and strange. It is intricate, important and moving (CHINA MIEVILLE)

From the Publisher:

Wanderers and Islanders is a highly original fantasy debut from a new British author.

'Steve Cockayne has created something fascinating and strange. It resonates like a sudden memory - one that is intricate, important and moving' China Mieville
