Book description
Mercury Shell, Venus Shell, Earth, Mars, Asteroid, Jupiter, Saturn.
Each shell concentric, studded with artificial planets, each planet
embedded in its shell, spinning like a ball-bearing. The whole
Zeus-created in the service of Man but now beyond his control.
Now mathematics and space physics, converging, suggested another shell,
its existence hidden from Man. A shell of utter darkness, cold and
silence where only extreme mutants could survive. To find that shell,
the three were journeying again: Maq Ancor, Master Assassin, Magician
Cherry and Sine Anura, Mistress of the Erotic. Together, daring the
all-seeing, all-sensing hostility of Zeus. Born in 1928, Colin Kapp
was both a British SF author and a worker in electronics, later becoming
a freelance consultant in electroplating. His writing career began with
the publication of 'Life Plan' in New Worlds
in November 1958. Kapp is best known for his stories about the
Unorthodox Engineers, which gained a modest cult following. He passed
away in 2007.
