Geoff Nelder inhabits science fiction the way other people inhabit their clothes
- Jon Courtenay Grimwood best selling sf author of the Arabesk Mysteries & others - BSFA Best Novel winner and shortlisted Arthur C Clarke Award
Suppose the smooth passing of time on Earth is chaotic in the rest of the Universe. Perhaps Earth time is kept continuous by something that absorbs time decoherences - not for much longer. The Earth orbits the sun at 18 miles per second. If the mountain in front of you is thrown back a second, it slips 18 miles. Imagine such time-quakes happening all over the world.
As time-quakes cause chaos, a Mars mission is diverted to chase the departing time absorbing spheres. Arguing against hawkish military generals on Earth, the man and woman crew discover a means to communicate with the spheres, but will they listen and return to Earth?
Blurb:
Exit, Pursued by a Bee is driven by a heroine-astronaut, involves a Palaeolithic mongrel called Kur, Glastonbury Festival chaos, steamy sex in space, a mean-momma loose-cannon journalist and an out-of-control general who'd fix anything by nuking it. They are all involved in the attempt to overcome time-quake calamities created when alien artifacts depart from Earth, oblivious to the chaos they leave behind.
Excerpts:
The introduction is on the DDP
page and another excerpt, one of my favourites, is where Oqmar, 20,000
years in the past meets Blake from the future here
