Solstice

The Minos is coming home, and the whole world is waiting to see what it brings back with it. Humanity's salvation, or its doom?

On the long journey back from Europa, Wyn and the last of her crew are carrying the answer in their hold when a ship comes hunting through the dark. Whoever is aboard wants their cargo. In the black between planets, there is nowhere to run.

Jules wakes after eighteen months in a bed she doesn't recognise, in a body worn down to the bone. While she slept, the resistance made her a symbol, her image stencilled on every wall. But the boy she loved has come back a stranger, and the movement that saved her has its own use for her, the girl who wouldn't stay dead.

In the drowned ruins of Hong Kong, Yan has spent two years running from the men who killed her father. A simple retrieval job drags her straight back into their orbit, and as the world convulses around her, she finds herself circling the one name she swore she would never utter again: Christopher Sun.

In the frozen north, Roman and Jimmy have kept Mercy hidden and safe, far from anyone who would make a weapon of her. Then footprints in the snow lead into the trees, and the little girl is gone. To get her back, they will have to bargain with the devil himself.

As the assassins close in and the towers of London burn, four desperate fronts race toward a single reckoning, and the horror that followed them back from the ice is only just waking up.

Solstice collects the complete fourth season of The Sunset Chronicles, a sci-fi horror serial that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. From the bestselling British author of Blood on the Motorway and Darkness Come Alive.
