Levy, Roger

Fantasy

Victor Gollancz

DARK HEAVENS takes us back to Roger Levy's stunning vision of a world counting out its final years as it literally falls apart. London is awash with volcanic ash, the population fatalistically playing out their lives in VR. But ReGenesis, the radical movement who started Earth's death with a series of controlled nuclear explosions in the Marina's trench have not finished with the planet yet. RECKLESS SLEEP was a supremely assured and visionary SF debut. DARK HEAVENS builds on that promise with flair and verve. Roger Levy has made a name for himself in record time. This is a remarkable sequence of novels in the making.

This sequel to the acclaimed Reckless Sleep, called "brilliantly innovative" by Starburst magazine, takes readers back to Roger Levy's apocalyptic vision of a world in its final years, falling apart. London is awash with volcanic ash, and the fatalistic population distracts itself from the horror by burying themselves in virtual-reality programs. But something new has emerged: new religions that promise an escape to heaven itself. But to get there, you have to die first. And mass suicides have become common--and legal. Levy has made a name for himself in record time, and this remarkable novel builds on his promise with flair and verve.

Dark Heavens: ...await the Willing Dead

Science Fiction

Our planet is dying, literally falling apart, and the fatalistic population distracts itself from the horror by burying themselves in virtual-reality programs. But something new has emerged—a religion that promises an escape to heaven itself. But to get there, you have to die. Thousands of people at a time are promised heaven by the new prophets and delivered there with the complicity of the authorities. Darkly compelling, this is an apocalyptic tale of political intrigue, betrayal, and greed.

Dark Heavens: Await the Willing Dead

In this exemplary work of pyschological acuity, the reader encounters a world where mankind has reached deep space. Separated from Earth and each other by unimaginable reaches of stars, forced to adapt to various diverse plantetary environments, the colonies have become isolated and inward looking, forgetting their pasts, losing touch with their humanity—that is, until a mysterious ship is found locked in the deep rock by a mining team, sparking a deadly conspiracy that threatens man wherever he is.
