At the Speed of Light by Simon Morden

A tense drama set in the depths of space. Aboard a ship that has travelled beyond the reach of human knowledge, Corbyn discovers he may not be as alone as he ought to be. An intense hard SF novella from Simon Morden (B.Sc. Hons., Sheffield, Ph.D, Newcastle), a bona fide rocket scientist with degrees in geology and planetary geophysics who also writes science fiction. Author of a dozen novels and collections, Simon won the 2012 Philip K. Dick Award. At The Speed of Light is one of his finest works to date.

Morden has a natural talent for a plot that keeps the reader guessing. - The Guardian (on Equations of Life)

An engrossing rollercoaster of a plot winds up with a solidly satisfying climax that leaves the reader craving more. - Publishers Weekly (on Arcanum)

Morden, against a gritty, utterly convincing backdrop, anticipates every consequence and wrings out surprise after surprise. - Kirkus (on Arcanum)

This is British sci-fi at its hard-boiled best. - The Guardian (on The Curve of the Earth)

Morden is a writer who delights in turning your expectations upside down. - ScienceFiction.com

At The Speed Of Light is the second release in a new series of NewCon Press novellas. The series will be issued in sets of four, with each set featuring cover art by the same artist - one piece of artwork divided between the four covers.
