The Modern World (2007)

by Steph Swainston
(#3 in Castle)

Five years after the Island of Tris joined the Empire there are new developments in the Insect war. The sounds of monumental building clank and resound from the Front. Frost, the Architect, is certain she knows what she’s doing and Jant believes her but the immortals are about to bring down on their own heads a bigger disaster than ever before.

Though maybe not quite as disastrous as the sheer confusion wreaked by Lightning’s teenage daughter. The immortals think they are shaping the modern world but it’s fast slipping out of their hands. Even the Emperor can’t predict what will happen but he seems to know more than he reveals.

Also known as Dangerous Offspring.
