What to expect
'MacLeod's novels are fast, funny and sophisticated. There can never be enough books like these: he is writing revolutionary SF. A nova has appeared in our sky' - Kim Stanley Robinson
'MacLeod is up there with Banks and Hamilton as one of the British sci-fi authors you absolutely have to read' - SFX
Carlos is dead. A soldier who died for his ideals a thousand years ago, he's been reincarnated and conscripted to fight an A.I. revolution in deep space. And he's not sure he's fighting for the right side.
Seba is alive. By a fluke of nature, a contractual overlap and a loop in its subroutines, this lunar mining robot has gained sentience. Gathering with other 'freebots', Seba is taking a stand against the corporations that want it and its kind gone.
As their stories converge against a backdrop of warring companies and interstellar drone combat, Carlos and Seba must either find a way to rise above the games their masters are playing, or die. And even dying will not be the end of it.

Critics Review
-
Brims with ideas, politics and memorable characters . . . MacLeod’s most entertaining novel
SFX -
Excellent
Guardian -
Remarkably human, funny and smartly-designed . . . it rips along on rockets
Warren Ellis -
Scotland’s leading science fiction writer
The Herald -
Excellent . . . fantastic fights and deep conspiracies and moral dilemmas . . . Although I lack the predictive capacities of an AI, I would have to adjust the parameters of my perception if this did not make it on to prize lists
Scotland on Sunday -
Dissidence is the novel that’s direct yet still brims with ideas, politics and memorable characters, and… keeps things moving with the pace of an airport thriller…. MacLeod’s most entertaining novel to date.
