IF THE ONE THING THAT MAKES YOU WHO YOU ARE IS TAKEN FROM YOU, WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?
______________________________________________________________________________________Grub Teng is unique. As the world’s only living Psychitect, he can produce designs for living things from his unconscious mind. In a world where the vast majority of non-human biological life died out after an event known as The Crash, this is a pretty valuable skill.
But after suffering a horrific, disfiguring accident whilst working for the Nunes-Elessia Psychitecture Europa (NEP-E) corporation, Grub loses his psychic gift and is unceremoniously sacked. Embittered and desperate for revenge, he joins a cyber-terror group called T-127, bankrolled by the mysterious Sponsor, who vow to destroy the company.
Yet T-127 are not as righteous as they seem. When their methods become violent Grub is torn between his own desire for revenge and what is right. And when the company recovers data from Grub’s final psychic dive to create a monstrous lifeform, Grub uncovers secrets that shatter his own sense of who he is, threatening everyone he’s been fighting with, and everything he’s been fighting for.

The Hole In The Sky is the thrilling new novel from Dan Jones, which sees him return to science fiction and add layers of body horror, mystery, and surrealism in an epic journey through a future world filled with organic robots, jacked-up cyber terrorists, corporate intrigue, and horrifying monsters cultivated in the darkest recesses of the human mind.
It is an exploration into what it means to be free versus doing the bidding of others, and how much purpose we have in either situation. In a world where we are only just coming to terms with the ethical implications of AI and its constructs, The Hole In The Sky is a timely burst of existential fiction that reiamgines the answer to that age-old question: what does it mean to be human?
Spread over two parts, this wild duology will certainly appeal to fans of Blade Runner and John Carpenter's The Thing, as well as NK Jemisin's The Fifth Season; Philip K Dick's Minority Report, and William Gibson's Neuromancer.
The Hole In The Sky: Part Two is coming very soon!
