"Seductively weird ... populated by characters that live on in the mind long after the book's been put back on the shelf" - Iain Banks
"a true, sophisticated modern classic" - Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars
2038. Earth has been ravaged by a series of natural disasters. Retroviruses run rampant throughout its population. Economic failure has destabilised the world.
Then the aliens arrive.
With no understanding of their intent, the anti-alien group White Queen works to turn humans against these extraterrestrial tourists. Caught in the middle is Johnny Guglio, an American exile whose only fault was living near the landing site, and Braemar Wilson, a cutthroat reporter who will do whatever she needs to get ahead of the story. It seems that being caught in the middle is the best place for them to uncover the truth.
White Queen is the first in Gwyneth Jones' critically acclaimed Aleutian Trilogy.
