Iron Gods by Andrew Bannister
The Spin, an ancient artificial cluster of eighty-eight planets and twenty-two suns - is in decline. The boundaries of the formerly prosperous Inside have shrunk to a mere eleven planets, their trade routes are cut off, and their last remaining source of income comes from selling the services of their vast industrial slave-colony - The Hive.
Bannister has the knack of making the extraordinary seem normal and the normal seem extraordinaryIt all comes together in dazzling, pin-sharp storytelling, where humour. acute social commentary and some terrific aliens jostle together. -- Jamie Buxton * DAILY MAIL *
Wonderful . . . a worthy successor to the potential realised in Creation Machine. There's some really big ideas here. I suspect I am only just comprehending the true ambition of these books. I really like this series. -- Mark Yon * SFFWORLD *
Ancient, brooding technologies...Renegade slaves in a stolen starships...In Bannister's hands space opera lives on, gaudy and brutal and glorious. The Spin Doctor is back. -- STEPHEN BAXTER
With Bannister's debut novel, Creation Machine, we seemed to have struck a nugget of SF gold. With Iron Gods our luck continues and it seems that with this new author we may well have found a vein of the stuff. * CONCATENATION *

Born in 1965, Andrew Bannister grew up in Cornwall. He studied Geology at Imperial College and went to work in the North Sea before becoming an Environmental Consultant. For the day job, he specialises in green transport and corporate sustainability, but he has always written – initially for student newspapers and fanzines before moving on, encouraged by creative writing courses, to fiction. He’s always been a reader and has loved science fiction since childhood. From the classics of the 50s and 60s to the present day, he’s wanted it all: space, stars, astonishment and adventure - and now he’s discovered that writing it is even better. Andrew lives in Leicestershire.
