Down in the Sea of Angels

Price range: £5.99 through £9.99

Three individuals, intrinsically linked through time and a jade teacup, battle their personal demons alongside enslavement, exploitation and environmental collapse.

In 2106, Maida Sun possesses the ability to see the entire history of any object she touches. When she starts a job with a cultural recovery project in San Francisco with other psions like her, she discovers a teacup that connects her with Li Nuan, a sex-traffificked girl in a 1906 Chinatown brothel, and with Nathan, a tech-designer and hedonist of 2006.

 

A chance encounter with a prominent political leader reveals to Maida his plan to contain everyone with psionic abilities, eliminate their personal autonomy, and use their skills for his own gain. Maida is left with no choice but to join a fight she doesn’t feel prepared for, with flashes of the past, glimpses of the future and a band of fellow psions as her only tools. She must find a way to stop this agenda before it takes hold and destroys life as she knows it. Can the past give Maida the key to saving her future?

“These vivid worlds will make your mind expand and maybe burst; these flawed wonderful characters will make your heart ache and maybe break.”
– Sam J. Miller, Nebula-Award-winning author of Blackfish City

“Khan Wong brings past and future into intimate conversation with this thought-provoking and ultimately hopeful novel, weaving together three very different lives across time. Down in the Sea of Angels is a poignant exploration of the resilience of compassion, humanity’s (re)connection with the earth, and the bright beacon of community in dark times.”
– Ren Hutchings,
author of Under Fortunate Stars
