Robotic clergy, posthuman hive-men, immortal cyborgs and ancient alien races all play a part in this collection of sci-fi adventure tales set in the universe of HABITAT and GRIZ GROBUS.
This anthology collects "Hale-Bopp," "The Oxpecker and the Elephant," "Pride of the Central Republic," "A Portrait of The Artist As Hive Parasite," "The Ansible," "The Anchoress," and finally, "Vanguard."
"Worn-down characters, desolate environments, and grungy civilizations are reminiscent of the bande dessinée of Moebius and Grzegorz Rosinski, and are enlivened by the coloring in pastel shades and earth tones contributed by Sergei Nazarov and Drew Shields. The extensive worldbuilding and dark morals on offer here will appeal to fans of 2000 AD and Heavy Metal." —Publishers Weekly
