VOLSYNG: Book 3 of The Fifth Place

Pacing through black pines and blue snow. Deer and elk-things and grey foxes running at their presence. The horses silent but for the soft tramp of the hooves. Jay somewhere, somewhere further off, who knew? Vrowd behind, barely visible, his head down, his form appearing and disappearing between the trees, between the moonlight.

Description

‘Am I going to have a problem with you, Wulf?’

‘Me, sir? Never. No sir. Not one.’

 

Our antiheroes (though even that is stretching the definition) have travelled to the planet Dale in the hopes of safety and solace. With its towering buildings and pristine snow-covered streets, and not to mention its costumed vigilantes keeping things colourful, it seems like a big step up.

Except Dale is a false promise. The world is stuck in an endless cold war between two giant empires, separated by a vast and deadly wilderness. The status quo is everything. Our troublemaking group find themselves thrust into darkness and squalor, in a city built on corruption, exploitation and prejudice.

Life can only get harder, and if it isn’t their gruelling new jobs breaking their backs, it’s the blackmailing presence of the Organisation – the international crime syndicate that is the true power on this planet . . .

One way or another, something’s going to break.

 

This book left me contemplating existence far more than I typically prefer...
