Series: The Gaia Chronicles

Astra has escaped her enemies, and left behind her friends. But in this new, disorientating world, can she trust anyone?

Astra Ordott is in exile. Evicted from Is-Land for a crime she cannot regret, she has found work in an ancient fortress in Non-Land: headquarters of the Council of New Continents, the global body charged with providing humanitarian aid to the inhabitants of this toxic refugee camp.

Recovering from a disorienting course of Memory Pacification Treatment, Astra struggles to focus on her overriding goals - to find her Code father and avenge the death of her Shelter mother, Hokma.

But can the CONC compound director, the ambiguous Major Thames, protect her from the hawk-eyed attentions of her old enemies? And who in this world of competing agendas can she trust?

The deeper Astra ventures into this new world, the more she realises her true quest may be to find herself.

Reviews for Rook Song (#2 Gaia Chronicles)

It's hard-hitting, but it's poignant and incredibly thought-provoking at the same time ... Naomi Foyle has a mastery of plotting and a way with words that's truly remarkable. -- Over The Effing Rainbow Foyle has built a fascinating portrait, often reminiscent of Ursula K. Le Guin in its layered complexity, and threaded it into a fascinating coming of age story. Gripping. -- Love Reading Love Reading Rook Song is brave and unexpected ... if you like your SF intelligent and stimulating do yourself a favour and pick up both Astra and Rook Song. You won't regret it. Upcoming4me
