Book description
Beyond the huge domed roof of Ash Harbour, a city built inside a
hollowed-out mountain, deadly storms and Arctic temperatures have
stripped the Earth bare. Resources are limited and access to power is
all-important. Sinister bodies reign supreme, undercover operations are
rife and every move is monitored by the Clockworkers and Dark-Day
Fatalists. When sixteen-year-old Sol Wheat's father goes missing and is
accused of murder, Sol sets out to find out why, and in doing so
uncovers the harsh reality behind Ash Harbour.
Born in Dublin in 1973, OisÃn McGann spent his childhood there and
in Drogheda, County Louth. Art college ruined any chance he had of
getting a real job, so when he left in 1992, he set himself up as a
freelance illustrator. In 1998 he moved to London, and through no
fault of his own he ended up working in advertising as an art director
and copy writer. After three and a half years he began to fear for his
immortal soul. He returned to Ireland in the summer of 2002 much as he
had left it - with no job, no home and some meagre savings.
Ever the optimist, he now works once more as an illustrator and
mercenary artist by day and escapist writer by night. Visit OisÃn's
