Book description
In Stealing Light, Dakota discovered the Shoal’s dark and dangerous
secret, now she works towards stopping not only the spread of this
knowledge, but also the onset of the Nova war.
Found adrift near a Bandati colony world far away from Consortium
space, Dakota and Corso find themselves prisoners of the Bandati.
It becomes rapidly clear to them, that the humanity’s limited knowledge
of the rest of the galaxy - filtered through the Shoal - is direly
inaccurate. The Shoal have been fighting a frontier war with a rival
species, the Emissaries, with their own FTL technology for over fifteen
thousand years.
Realising that the Shoal may be the Galaxy’s one chance at sustained
peace, Dakota is forced to work with Trader to prevent the spread of
deadly knowledge carried on board the Magi ships. But it seems that the
Nova War is inevitable... Gary Gibson, who has worked as a graphic
designer and magazine editor in his home town of Glasgow, began writing
at the age of fourteen. His first published novel was Angel Stations
(2004), followed by Against Gravity (2005). His last novel was Stealing
Light.
