Fugitives, narcotics, mobsters, torture and… a circus? Khan Wong’s The Circus Infinite has it all and we’re giving you an exclusive sneak peek into the novel by revealing chapter two right here at SciFiNow!
In The Circus Infinite, Jes is hunted by those who want to study his gravity powers, and so makes his way to the best place for a mixed-species fugitive to blend in: the pleasure moon. Here, everyone just wants to be lost in the party.
It doesn’t take long for him to catch the attention of the crime boss who owns the resort-casino where he lands a circus job. When the boss gets wind of the bounty on Jes’ head, he makes an offer: do anything and everything asked of him, or face vivisection. With no other options, Jes fulfills the requests: espionage, torture, demolition. But when the boss sets the circus up to take the fall for his about-to-get-busted narcotics operation, Jes and his friends decide to bring the mobster down together. And if Jes can also avoid going back to being the prize subject of a scientist who can’t wait to dissect him? Even better.
The Circus Infinite is out next week, but if you can’t wait until then, you can read chapter two of the novel right here where we’re introduced to Luna Lux Resort Casino…
The Circus Infinite will be published on 8 March by Angry Robot Books.
