Under a Dark Sky

It's a world of fighters, drunks and prostitutes. And those are just the good guys. On the rebel colony planet Elysium, a man who claims to be Jesus Christ reborn is executed in a live video streamed by religious extremists. Nothing terribly original so far for Elysium. Only this time, the man doesn't die. When cynical security expert Asher Perez is sent to find the self proclaimed saviour, it soon becomes apparent that no-one is who they seem and that something dark is stirring in the shadows. Something that has been watching humanity since the dawn of history. If you enjoy the works of Richard Morgan, Neal Asher, Iain McDonald, Alastair Reynolds and Gavin G. Smith, you will love this novel.

Dahlgren] and his book Under a Dark Sky with keen interest." — Farsight Blogger
