'I burned through it... Great book: Tinker Tailer Soldier Spook' Ian McDonald

Loss is a thing of the past. Murder is obsolete. Death is just the beginning.

*****

How do you catch a spy who's already dead?

In 1938, death is no longer feared but exploited.

Since the discovery of the afterlife, the British Empire has extended its reach into Summerland, a metropolis for the recently deceased.

But Britain isn't the only contender for power in this life and the next. The Soviets have spies in Summerland, and the technology to build their own god.

When SIS agent Rachel White gets a lead on one of the Soviet moles, blowing the whistle puts her hard-earned career at risk. The spy has friends in high places, and she will have to go rogue to bring him in.

'Summerland: As if Alfred Hitchcock had made a movie with HP Lovecraft... A vision so original it deserves its own subgenre. And all worked out with the diamond-hard logic of a great SF writer. After Summerland, the thriller has a new geometry' Stephen Baxter

'Eerily plausible, beautifully pitched on the cusp between wonder and horror, and thoroughly engrossing from the first page to the last' Alastair Reynolds

'Clever, subtle and... has a rich emotional centre' SFX

'Summerland is in its own way as persuasive an example of Rajaniemi's disciplined inventiveness as his better-known hard SF' LOCUS

'Engaging writing, tight plotting and fantastic imagination' Ed McDonald, author of Blackwing

'An intricate and vivid world of technological and spiritual wonder' Kirkus

'Hard to admit, but I think he's better at this stuff than I am' Charles Stross
