We are delighted to announce that this autumn we will be publishing the latest science fiction thriller by Rosie Oliver, A Truth Beyond Full, set in a mining colony on Miranda, one of the moons of Uranus.
Miranda, an ice and rock moon of Uranus, has been a thriving mining colony. But recently there has been a rise in fatal accidents. Kylone has an ability to extrapolate patterns behind a rock face to determine where and how to dig. When his fiancée died in another accident, he blamed himself and his ability; a wreck, no longer able to mine, he became a priest with limited duties in the locally developed Priesthood. Assigned to officiate at a hero miner’s funeral, the widow asks Kylone to investigate the spate of accidents and, along with some help from an unexpected source, he starts to suspect that they may have a more sinister cause, a suspicion which puts his own life in danger.
When planning the cover for A Truth Beyond Full, Rosie was keen that it should evoke the unique environment of Miranda but also mining and the underlying nature of the miners’ relationship with their quarry. Uncertain how best to combine the natural and the abstract, Elsewhen Press put Rosie in touch with artist Alex Storer. Between them they developed this stunning and very arresting cover.
