A prize-winning novel of surprising twists and startling depth. The ultra-rich have abandoned Earth. Cruising far above its congested surface in lavish Sky Towns, they partake in the ultimate luxury-pleasure-nymphs, augmented humans capable of echoing and amplifying a client's every indulgent sensation. So who would kidnap a nymph, torture her, and leave her for dead? When one of Sky Town's most prized nymphs wakes to find herself missing a sizeable sum of both money and memories, she has no idea who took her, why they did it... or what threat she poses to their monstrous plot. Slipping back into her world of splendour and seduction, she must navigate its hidden webs - both old and new - to find the spiders lurking within, and retake her stolen humanity. Combining the vision of Asimov with the voice of Atwood, the author creates a world where empathy is a service, a privilege, and a vice. For one pleasure-nymph, it may also be her only weapon.
Born in Port Moresby and raised in Hobart, Fay realized that however many people had landed on the moon, dreaming of being an astronaut wouldn’t get her anywhere. Nor, it seemed, would dreaming of being an author – though she hedged her bets by studying engineering, since “engineers make the best science fiction writers.” A move to Adelaide and a career later, Fay is now learning that with hard work, perseverance and luck, some dreams can come true. And if Elon Musk achieves his dreams, who knows, maybe she’ll get to travel to space (or at least the edge of space) after all!
