Plutoshine by Lucy Kissick

A mysterious accident on Pluto has left one girl mute, her father comatose, and her brother damaged and altered. But their barren world is changing around them, and secrets can't be kept forever...
A scientific romance for a new era, and very welcomeThe language and imagery are as perfectly formed as ice crystals. And Kissick had turned Pluto into a world as marvellous as Arrakis or Pandora * Stephen Baxter *
Adventurous SF that pushes the envelope and asks big questions. Lucy Kissick is the next big thing in space. * Paul Cornell *
[Lucy Kissick's] depictions of what it could be like on Pluto are thrillingly vivid...A rousing good story. * The Guardian *
This is such a polished debut. A thriller that combines the hard science of planetary engineering with an all too real human story. Plutoshine reads like golden age science fiction upgraded for the Twenty First century. -- Peter F. Hamilton
Lucy Kissick wrote Plutoshine while completing her doctorate at the University of Oxford, where she recreated Martian lakes in the laboratory to understand the planet's atmosphere. She now works as a scientist in the nuclear industry between the mountains and the sea of the English Lake District, and can usually be found in either.
