THE HYPERNOVA GAMBIT

A Science Fiction novel by Saxon Bullock

188,000 words. Completed: May 2009


22 years old, intelligent, and more capable and sexy than she thinks she is, Kolmaz Devrion is a megastar. One of the most famous people in the human civilisation known as the Confederacy, she's idolised by millions, revered as a musical genius, celebrated wherever she goes... and she'd really like it all to stop, right now.

Her plan is to leave her stifling existence, and her scheduled time is in the run-up to a performance on board the Hypernova, a colossal, fifteen-mile long Commerce Ship that stocks the finest and most exclusive merchandise from across the galaxy. Anything you dream of can be purchased inside its eight hundred floors – but while for Kolmaz it's a chance at freedom, for a sinister group of 'reality revolutionaries', it means something very different.

Calling themselves the Cadre of Loathing, they're out to make the universe a better place, and don't care who they have to kill in order to do it. Hi-jacking the Hypernova, the Cadre are soon executing a bizarre plan, and it's up to people like Kolmaz, world-weary Hypernova employee Faylon Pryce, and Gestalt-entity prostitute Jak Hoyle to figure out what their real intentions are.

Whether they can stop them is a completely different story – but for Kolmaz, it's her only chance at getting a normal life, and she'll do anything she can to take it.

Romance. Danger. Universal Cataclysm. And no chance of a refund...
