      WELCOME TO HELL CITY, MARS
      Jimmy Martin has a sore head.

      He''s used to smuggling illegal data in his headspace. But this is the first time it has started talking to him.

      The data claims to be a distinguished academic, author and civil rights activist.

      It also claims to be a bear.

      A bear named Honey.

      Jimmy has nothing against bioforms – he''s one himself, albeit one engineered out of human stock – and works with them everyday in Hell City, building the future, staking mankind''s claim to a new world: Mars.

      The problem is that humanity isn''t the only entity with designs on the Red Planet. Out in the airless desert there is another presence. A novel intelligence, elusive, unknowable and potentially lethal.

      And Honey is here to make contact with it, whether Jimmy likes it or not.
      Praise for Bear Head:
      ''An unashamedly thrilling escapade'' The Times

      ''Funny, appalling, gruesome and uplifting... Propelled by a cracking plot that balances dystopian satire with a palpable sense of moral peril'' Daily Mail

      ''An absolute whammy of a read, and a must for anyone who enjoys a smart, fast-paced, hugely entertaining blast of speculative fiction... This is one of those books where you can just throw yourself and abandon yourself to a fabulous story, knowing you will be entertained throughout'' LoveReading

      ''A rousing good read'' Guardian

      ''If you''re a fan of Black Mirror, this classic dystopian book will have you hooked within the first few pages. Smart, fast-paced, and razor-sharp, this book is surprisingly funny while still remaining deeply thought-provoking'' Daily Express
