Honey the genetically engineered bear starts a revolution on the Red
Planet in the new novel from the Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author
of Children of Time. WELCOME TO HELL CITY, MARS Jimmy Martin has a
sore head. He's used to smuggling illegal data in his headspace. But
this is the first time it has started talking to him. The data claims
to be a distinguished academic, author and civil rights activist. It
also claims to be a bear. A bear named Honey. Jimmy has nothing
against bioforms – he's one himself, albeit one engineered out of
human stock – and works with them everyday in Hell City, building
the future, staking mankind's claim to a new world: Mars. The problem
is that humanity isn't the only entity with designs on the Red Planet.
Out in the airless desert there is another presence. A novel
intelligence, elusive, unknowable and potentially lethal. And Honey is
here to make contact with it, whether Jimmy likes it or not. Praise
for Bear Head: 'An unashamedly thrilling escapade' The Times 'Funny,
appalling, gruesome and uplifting... Propelled by a cracking plot that
balances dystopian satire with a palpable sense of moral peril' Daily
Mail 'An absolute whammy of a read, and a must for anyone who enjoys a
smart, fast-paced, hugely entertaining blast of speculative fiction...
This is one of those books where you can just throw yourself and
abandon yourself to a fabulous story, knowing you will be entertained
throughout' LoveReading 'A rousing good read' Guardian 'If you're a
fan of Black Mirror, this classic dystopian book will have you hooked
within the first few pages. Smart, fast-paced, and razor-sharp, this
book is surprisingly funny while still remaining deeply
thought-provoking' Daily Express
