    About this series

    Slab is three hundred and fifty years into its voyage home when the lights—and everything else—go out. With zero chance of rescue and no possibility that an alternative power source can be invented and deployed in time, most of the thirty-two million SlabCitizens choose to enter cryo suspension in the fragile hope that if and when they are defrosted, there will still be a slab worth living in. To make matters worse, Council have no option but to elevate self-proclaimed business gurulla Louie Drago to the presidency and leave him hypothetically in charge of a small band of suspiciously gifted people tasked with saving Slab.

    Not everyone volunteers for the deep freeze. Several million escape in micro-form and the rest are herded into the one place they might survive in for more than a few days, while, as time-to-failure races erratically towards zero, the NAHs desperately seek help from the most improbable of places.

    Louie only wants to save himself, but Dielle, who still can't accept he is Louie's reset, is on a mission to save his only Hope by making promises he's pretty sure he can't keep.

    Meanwhile, but not meanwhen, the Cosmic Tit accidentally saves a space-bound life-form that eats moons for breakfast, and things are getting tense in California where, even though it's been displaced into a virtually time-free discontinuity, there may be only a few ten to the trillion years left—and that might not be enough.

    Slabscape: Reboot is the third in the Slabscape series.

      Slabscape: Reset is the first novel in the Slabscape series by S.Spencer Baker. Take the most sophisticated A.I. designed mind that has ever existed, encase it in over fifty million cubic kilometres of diamond nano-rods and send it off on a twenty-thousand-year odyssey towards the centre of the galaxy. Then screw it all up by allowing thirty-two million humans to go along for the ride. “Slabscape soon began to feel like a curious fusion of Douglas Adams and Iain M Banks, Hitchikers and Culture. Perhaps even a little Harry Harrison too.” “Best read since Neuromancer”

      Slabscape: Dammit is the second novel in the Slabscape series by S.Spencer Baker. Somebody's slung a stop sign over a solar system and Slab is heading straight for it. Stopping is not an option. Slab is over a thousand kilometres long, travelling at near-lightspeed and the thirty-two million humans, NAHs and avatars who inhabit the Slabscape are on a mission; they're going Home and wouldn't stop even if they could. "The 'Slabscape' saga is a compulsive read for all those with a vivid imagination, a strange sense of humour and a passion for sci-fi." "The best deep space/far future sci-fi this side of Iain M Banks and Alistair Reynolds."
