Hymoliga Eight (a mobile talking Martian plant), Kim Hawthorne (a space ethicist from the not so distant future) and the mysterious narrator who goes by the name of "Ishmael Starbuck" join together as fugitives through space and time, travelling to Titan, where all art has been banned, to renaissance Finland (where they encounter the alien race known as "sea monks") and to distant Tarsarsus, which is being ravaged by self-perfecting robots called the Pelagyans.
Adventure science fiction with a human touch a good dose of wit.

Paperback. Great cover great title, fun blurb, great read. It'd look good on your shelf.
It's made it into amazon’s hot new releases in “adventure fiction” a few times, so people must be enjoying it.
Gratefully,
Peter Fleming

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:33:22 -0800 It is my hope to bring to science fiction something of what “Father Brown” by Chesterton brought to detective fiction: in which events provide the occasion for a philosophical –and an enjoyable – reflection on them.
I’d like to see the stories (it is the start of a series) compete with the blunt, nasty material which is on offer elsewhere. It is important, I feel, that people have a real choice; I might even say a choice between dark and light.
You and your readers would enjoy the combination of science, fantasy, art and politics in stories which are designed to reflect something of ourselves and our times in even the furthest reaches of space.
