Project Hanuman - Paperback

by Stewart Hotston (Author)

Blending Indian mythology and classic space opera, Project Hanuman is a bold new science-fiction novel from Stewart Hotston, perfect for fans of Adrian Tchaikovsky.

The Arcology, a pan galactic utopia where trillions live online, forever and in bliss, is missing. Praveenthi 'Prab' Saal, who tired of heaven and left for the real world and pilot Kercher, printed into a physical body to serve time for sedition against the Arcology, must discover what is going on, or it could be the end of everyone and everything that calls the Arcology home.

Their only resource is their living ship, carrying all the Arcology's knowledge and culture. But this nameless ship is dying - slowly being swallowed whole by the universe of information it's been asked to hold.

The three embark on a quest to save themselves and, just maybe, the Arcology as well.

"From quantum to galactic; opens philosophical and metaphysical questions about what it is to be embodied, to be deathless, to serve purpose."
Essa Hansen, author of Nophek Gloss

"As wildly inventive as it is intriguing, dragging you through a galaxy spanning story."
RJ Barker, author of The Bone Ships

"Builds on classic SF to deliver an intelligent page-turner at the cutting edge of the genre today."
Juliet McKenna, author of the Green Man novels

Author Biography

With a Celtic-Indian mother and a father of North African/Roma descent, Stewart Hotston is a somewhat confused second-generation immigrant living in the UK. His novels include the BFS and Subjective Chaos finalist, Entropy of Loss as well as the tech thriller, Tangle's Game and the science fiction novels based in UBISoft's Watch Dogs universe - Daybreak Legacy and Stars & Stripes.

When he's not writing he can be found working as a financier in the City of London. Beyond that rather questionable career choice, he is co-owner of one of the UK's largest LARP systems, Curious Pastimes, and is an internationally competitive historical fencer with a PhD in theoretical physics. Oh, and he really, really loves ice cream. He lives in Reading, UK.
