Beschreibung

<p><b>The year is 2454.</b></p><p>Humanity has engineered a hard-won <b>golden age</b>, forged in the aftermath of a bitter conflict that wiped both religion and nation state from the planet. Now seven factions or 'hives' co-govern the world, their rule fuelled by benign censorship, oracular statistical analytics and technological abundance. But this is a fragile Utopia - and someone is <b>intent on pushing it to breaking point.</b></p><p>Convicted for his <b>crimes</b>, celebrated for his talents, Mycroft Canner is the indentured instrument - and confidant - of some of the world's <b>most powerful figures</b>. When he is asked to investigate a bizarre theft, he finds himself on the trail of a conspiracy that could shatter the tranquil world order the Hives have maintained for three centuries.</p><p>But Mycroft has his <b>own secrets</b>. He is concealing a much greater threat to the seven Hives, a <b>wild card</b> no degree of statistical analysis could have prophesied. This threat takes the unlikely form of a <b>thirteen-year-old</b> called Bridger. <b>For how will a world that has banished God deal with a child who can perform miracles?</b></p> / Nominiert: Hugo Awards Best Novel, 2017
