Kester Lowe is the next big thing in viral fashion. For the price of a Brinkov suit you could be wearing one of his exclusively engineered STVs. And once you put it on, almost everyone will want you... At least, that’s the plan. Alexis Farrell will stop at nothing to make her new designer a star, but not everyone is a fan; those offended by what he represents, those he has betrayed, his own suppressed ambitions and forgotten promises - Kester is racking up enemies and they are about to come together in an attempt to destroy him. Sequela is a solid debut from a fresh new voice in science fiction. Set in London in the 2080s, it follows the story of virologist Dr Kester Lowe as he rockets to fame as the first fashion virus designer. As events unfold, the reality of Kester’s fame and desirability bring him to crisis point, forcing him to deal with the consequences of selling his services to the highest bidder and reawakening his ambition to use his scientific talent to the greater good. A potent mix of nanotechnology, terrorism and sexual politics. '...a sci-fi masterwork...an utterly readable novel, not only impossible to put down but conceptually mind-blowing. Extraordinary - a visionary tour de force.' - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) '...original, dramatic, and thought-provoking, though certainly not for the squeamish ...creepily realistic.' - IndieReader (IR Approved) 'Visualizing a London in another 70 years, along with a major societal shift is one thing, making it seem ’real’ is another, and that is the essence of good science fiction. And by that standard, Sequela is good sci-fi.' - San Francisco Book Review
