Alex Thomson (SE 2000)

Death Of A Clone is the debut from Alex Thomson. It blends the patterns of Poirot and Marple with thoughtful questions about humanity and its future.

The location for all of this is an mineral-rich aesteroid called 'Hell'. A mining crew is settled on the asteroid, their lives defined by a rota, which tells them who should be where and when in order to meet their quota. They’re isolated in the tumbling black…and they’re all clones.

Naomi Waltham-Smith (SE 2000)

Naomi's first book has just been published. She argues that music, at the level of style and form, produces certain modes of listening that in turn reveal the conditions of belonging. Specifically, listening shows the intimacy between two senses of belonging: belonging to a community is predicated on the possession of a particular property or capacity.
