Four independent novellas by four outstanding authors, linked by theme and their shared cover art.
When the corpse on the mortuary slab sits up and speaks to Hayley, asking for her help, she thinks she’s losing her mind. If only it were that simple… Hayley soon finds herself immersed in dangers she never dreamed of as she is plunged into a millennia-old conspiracy involving aliens, immortals, and a secret society entrenched within the highest levels of government.
Distinguished novelist, screenwriter, and radio dramatist Philip Palmer has come up trumps. In Morpho, he delivers a tale of the here and now that draws the reader into a subverted reality where the privileged govern from the shadows, where immortality has been bought at a horrific price, and a rebellion is brewing that threatens to undermine the social order of our entire world.
“Morpho is a rollicking, adrenaline shot of a ride with a high body count and liberal amounts of gore. Hayley is a wonderful protagonist, and it’s a credit to Palmer that he doesn’t reduce her down to an in-your-face-take-no-shit cliché, with her shaven head and numerous tattoos. She is often angry, cynical, and wary of men (for good reason), but she’s also trying to figure out what to make of her life. It’s Hayley who anchors this crazy story of blood, guts, and alien possession.” – Locus
“This is an extraordinarily different story about aliens who have been living among humans for thousands of years, with the knowledge of some humans, but at a terrible price. It’s also a story of enduring love. The writing is gripping and the story fast paced… All of the characters are interesting, and have their own, well-defined back stories. I’m truly impressed with this novella and am curious to check out more by this author.” – LibraryThing Reviewer
Available as a signed limited edition hardback, a paperback, and an eBook. Also available as part of a very limited slipcase set featuring signed limited edition hardbacks of all four novellas in the series.
