Sinossi
Nulapeiron: a world isolated for twelve centuries. Its billions of inhabitants occupy subterranean strata, ruled by a logosophically-trained aristocracy of Lords and Ladies whose power base is upheld by Oracles. But revolution has touched all of its many cultures - failing in its intent, yet changing everything.
Now Lord Tom Corcorigan - the commoner-turned-noble who renounced his power, the poet, logosopher and holder of the key to understanding the myriad wonders of mu-space, the legendary one-armed warrior, former revolutionary and would-be peacemaker – lies fatally wounded. His survival is dependent on his meeting with a mysterious Seer whose spacetime-warping talents transcend the merely Oracular. It is a confrontation that will result in bitter tragedy and loss – can the woman he loves be truly dead, or can quantum mysteries lie beyond the grave?
Turning his back on a society sliding once more into anarchy and chaos, a disillusioned and despairing Tom wanders this strange, stratified world in search of meaning, love and his own salvation. But it seems Nulapeiron is threatened by a vast, insidious and terrifying enemy whose origins may lie beyond their world, beyond their understanding. And now is the time for legends to be reborn...

Paperback. Nulapeiron: a planet isolated for twelve centuries. Its inhabitants occupy subterranean strata, ruled by a logosophically trained aristocracy whose power base is upheld by Oracles. But now revolution has touched its many cultures - failing in its intent yet changing everything. And Lord Tom Corcorigan - the legendary one-armed warrior, one- time revolutionary and would-be peacemaker, the commoner-turned- noble, the poet, logosopher and holder of the key to understanding mu-space - lies fatally wounded. His survival hangs in the balance, dependent on his confrontation with a mysterious Seer who possesses transcendent space-time-warping talents. However, Tom must pay a bitter price for his life. Can the woman he loves truly be dead, or can quantum mysteries lie beyond the grave? Turning his back on a society sliding once more into anarchy, a disillusioned and despairing Tom wanders this strange, stratified world in search of meaning, lost love and his own salvation. But destiny beckons: a terrifying, insidious enemy whose origins lie beyond this world, beyond their understanding, threatens Nulapeiron. Now, it seems, is the time for legends to be reborn. The second book in John Meaney's pioneering Nulapeiron Sequence, Context is a thrilling, daring and complex novel that confirms its author as one of British science fiction's most original and exciting practitioners.
