Synopsis

The most miserable place in the Galaxy lies deep within the mother of all stations.

Rioo, the heavily populated world known as the sewage of Méridia Station, is drowning in endless rain and rising floods. And it is about to get a whole lot worse.

Inspector Rios, an ancient Djockar pumped up by a variety of drugs to combat the pains of the Blackening, wakes up to the incessant ringing of his communicator from his partner, the Arti-Inspector Helix.

They found another victim on display. A true, but terrible work of art.

Making his way through this crumbling and damp world below one of the massive Station's water tanks, Rios starts a day that will not end like any other, for the elusive killer is far from completing his final masterpiece.

With the clock ticking and his disease progressing, Rioo has to work fast: not only is his life on the line, but the answers to the case are also more connected to him than he initially realised.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Benjamin Wuyts is a Belgian science fiction writer whose work blends space opera, serialised storytelling and a love of the nostalgia and pop culture of his upbringing. He currently writes and publishes Welcome & Goodbye, Earth, an ongoing science fiction serial that combines traditional storytelling with messages, reports, comics, blog entries, audio diaries and other in-universe media. Set in a galaxy struggling with overpopulation and a resource crisis, the series explores kinetic powers, immortality, aliens and a galactic civilisation over 800 million years old. Readers can follow the continuation of this story, along with other tales by Benjamin, on his Patreon. Born and raised in Ghent, Belgium, Benjamin grew up in a lively household with brothers and a sister. He now lives in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with his wife and Luna, the family dog, who, in Benjamin's words, often treats him like the hired help with no apparent right to the bed, the couch or, well, anywhere else. Before becoming a writer, Benjamin trained as a baker and pastry chef. In what he considers a lifetime ago, he left that life behind in search of something that truly sparked his passion. That search led him, quite randomly, to scribbling on a bench one day with nothing but a pen and paper. His handwriting was so illegible that even months later he sometimes needed to squint to decipher it. From those humble, messy beginnings, the Welcome & Goodbye, Earth series was born.
