How far would you go to stop a war? To save a world? To save a child? To save everything?
This is no ordinary space opera.
The Möbius Trip blends hard science fiction, philosophical inquiry, and pulse-pounding action into a narrative of unparalleled complexity. If you're ready to have your consciousness expanded by a story that pushes the boundaries of the sci-fi genre-prepare for the ride of a lifetime.
"Engaging gravity drive," said the ship, delivering its lines like a Hollywood starlet playing Chuck Yeager. There were a few moments of intense acceleration, and they were falling in a new direction. Box laughed out loud. So, this is what I've been missing out on. Except she was falling through the ecliptic of Aldebaran, with some kind of black-ops space soldiers, not riding on a Blackpool rollercoaster with children.
Praise for The Möbius Trip:
"At once absolutely bonkers and perfectly wonderful."

"I can't recall a science fiction novel in which so many characters created a lasting impression on me."

- Rich, diverse characters that linger in your mind long after the final page
- Vivid, poetic descriptions of alien worlds and futuristic technology
- A narrative that seamlessly blends hard science with philosophical depth
- A story that challenges you to think beyond the boundaries of conventional sci-fi
"'A long time ago...' he began, and Box could see the children were rapt. They were sat in a semicircle, with the debutantes in front of the fire, and the robot Chance on the other side. Somehow, the cold of the night had receded, and they were all sitting comfortably. '...in a place called the Real, on a planet called Earth, I fought a mechanical spider.'"
More Praise:
"Excellent ships, swords, and kung fu mashup. Kitou rocks my world."
"This sweeps along, epic and expansive, bewildering and fascinating all at once."
"A beautifully written speculative fiction novel that truly puts the 'fiction' into science."
