When Martin Nova gets lost in space, he’s relieved. Being found would mean going back to Earth, and Earth is already in more trouble than anyone realises. Armed with a truth nobody is ready to hear, Martin will broadcast a message that could unravel reality itself.

 

His twin sister Aura has problems of her own. She’s battling a malfunctioning world of weaponised gnomes, fractured timelines, and a growing suspicion that most of existence is being held together by alien incompetence. Somewhere between the wormhole of Lostoff and a prison of Fantasy, the universe is quietly coming apart.

 

As aliens manipulate myth and fantasy bleeds into fact, and Earth faces being relocated to heaven knows where, Martin and Aura are about to discover that the concept of reality itself is far stranger, and far more dangerous than anyone ever suspected.

 

Beyond the Shatter Mines of Gomm is a science-fiction epic packed with savage humour, cosmic conspiracies, and a gleeful dismantling of the worlds of fantasy. It asks the biggest question of all time: What if aliens have been screwing with us all along?
