Synopsis

The Warcage is a feat of unprecedented stellar engineering: two hundred worlds harnessed to an artificial sun. Built to travel through space as a monument to peace between alien species, its voracious rulers have turned it into a nightmarish wasteland, capturing new planets for slaves and resources, then discarding the old. Now, when a verdant agri-world is pulled out of its orbit and a deal goes bad it is up to the captain of a smuggling ship to journey into the Warcage and rescue his crew.

Review

"Proper galaxy-spanning Space Opera ... a worthy addition to the genre."―Iain M. Banks on Seeds of Earth

"The invention is endless."―SFX on Seeds of Earth

"A well-constructed space opera...a thick and satisfying 10-course meal of starchy pageantry, meaty characters, bitter losses, and sweet romance."―Publishers Weekly on Seeds of Earth

"Seeds of Earth has everything: well-realised extraterrestrials, scheming artificial intelligences, set-piece space battles and bizarre technology from the dawn of the galaxy."―The Guardian (UK) on Seeds of Earth

"Space opera has never been in more capable hands."―The Guardian (UK) on The Orphaned Worlds

"Michael Cobley has added a fine piece of work to a grand tradition."―SF Crow's Nest on The Ascendant Stars
