Dyson trees, biological skyships, space dreadnoughts, alien greys: the five systems are not big enough for this final adventure! Ravana O'Brien, Detective Ostara Lee, annoying young crew-mate Artorius and their disgruntled sabre-toothed robot are marooned a very long way from home. An extra-dimensional labyrinth of hollow worlds, the lair of ancient omnipotent tricksters, homicidal giant spiders, mysterious alien greys and the insular descendants of lost colonists who believe the Earth is no more.
Priest Taranis is reaping his twisted destiny with a new apprentice at his side. Ravana's father and friends are scouring the five systems and beyond for answers. Space dreadnoughts and incompetent mercenaries are on manoeuvres as the fledging Terran Federation slides towards civil war. In the shadows of a hollow moon, a scheming would-be god prepares the last roll of dice to seal humankind's fate. Can Ravana and crew find their way home and save the day?
Hollow Worlds is the fifth and final book in the 'Hollow Moon' series; space-opera mystery and adventure for all young adults and adults young at heart!
Autorentext
Steph Bennion is a writer, musician and part-time Westminster civil servant, born and bred in the Black Country but now living in Hastings after finally escaping the black hole of London. Her stories are written as a reaction to the dearth of alternative heroes amidst bookshelves swamped by tales of the supernatural, not that there's nothing wrong with a bit of fantasy now and again. HOLLOW MOON, the first novel in her space-opera tales of mystery and adventure, was published in 2012. THE AVALON JOB is the fourth, with more to come. Under the name Stephanie M Bennion, she has written speculative fiction for older readers. Her last novel was THE LUCK OF THE DEVIL, a tale of supernatural transgender angst in 1990s Ireland, published in 2018. The time-travelling romp THE BATTLES OF HASTINGS, a novella inspired by her adopted town and the 950th anniversary of the event that shaped the British Isles today, was published in 2016.
