Books

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 is a pan galactic utopia whose people live entirely online. Tired of paradise, Praveenthi 'Prab' Saal had herself printed into the physical world of Sirajah's Reach, working as an Interlocutor - a go-between for the Arcology and the cultures it meets in flesh and blood. One evening after a call with her family - who are pressuring her to abandon her body and rejoin the Arcology - the city stops completely. Nothing electronic works anymore. Terrified that the Arcology has just up and disappeared, she receives a call for help from a ship in dock whose pilot, Kercher, is a prisoner printed into a body to serve out his sentence in the physical world. Between them they discover it's not just her planet, but the entire Arcology that's gone missing. If they don't find out what's going on it could be the end of everyone and everything ...
