Emerald To Ice
3186, a thousand light-years away: two groups of exiled humans co-operate on a desperate mission to a dangerous new world.
Because Nyuki is the home of an indigenous people called the humbles, and the previous attempt at contact ended in disaster.
On the eve of the second mission, news arrives of a new, deadly threat that threatens human and humble alike. The Zungui have returned from the depths of space and are poised for total colonisation.
“Our protagonists—enthusiastic yet practical Cheyara and cool, posthuman Heron—face a battle against time and the elements, but also against the threat posed by a group of humans who have ventured far into the galaxy and are now returning as a terrifying gestalt force…Emerald to Ice contains that traditional sense of wonder whilst engaging with some very modern concerns.”

Praise
“A superb collection of weird stories.”
—Storm Constantine, fantasy author and founder of Immanion press.
“When Matt asked me to write a foreword to his collection of short stories I thought a quick skim through and a superficial blurb would do. How awed and delighted I was when I started to read and couldn’t stop until I’d finished every one!”
—Elizabeth Counihan, editor, Scheherazade.
“Matt’s ability to conjure a fantastic landscape and people it with interesting but strange people is unparalleled.”
—Paul Brazier, editor, Interzone.
“When Appliances Go Green,” one of the stories in the collection, is available to read on the Little Blue Marble website.
