Zemlya is an isolated city, surrounded by an impassable tundra. The city is protected from the elements by a giant wall, and defended by cybernetically enhanced soldiers that make sure that no-one leaves the city. Many have tried but none survive.
Kate is one of these agents, and is recalled from patrolling the tundra to investigate a rebellion within the city originating in an abandoned industrial area. The rebels are treated as capital offenders and summarily executed. When flushing out a small cell she finds that they have recruited a young girl, who Kate refuses to kill.
Kate is then given orders to try to infiltrate the rebels, but her communication is cut off from headquarters. Following her judgment alone, she begins to sympathise with the young girl she spared and her confederates. Knowing she needs to hide her identity from her new friends whilst trying to stay loyal to the city’s central government, Kate toes the moral line between good and bad.
So, it’s done. 10 years after getting the idea for the story of a city at the edge of the world, inhabited by people that never age beyond 30, and protected by cybernetically enhanced warriors, The Zemlya Conspiracy is finally done.
I won’t bore you with the details of the making of the book; that has already been covered.
For those of you that read Zemlya under its working title, Arctic Gale, you don’t need any more introduction, so here is the link to the digital download:

The Zemlya Conspiracy is the tale of Agent Kate Thorsten, an E-type agent that is recalled from patrolling the tundra that surrounds Zemlya to go undercover. Her orders are to infiltrate the rebellion that has taken root in the city and is wreaking havoc within the city walls.
But, as she dives deeper into the underbelly of the City, she finds herself cut off from her superiors, and must challenge the web of conspiracy on her own.
The action sequences are fast-paced, and the plot will keep drawing you forward as you get as lost as Kate and her companions in the world of Zemlya.
So that’s the blurb out of the way. What else can I say to make you click the link and buy it? Here’s a couple of reasons.
There are a huge number of people that I have to thank for getting this far, and they are all mentioned in the acknowledgements page of the book. But the people I want to thank the most are you guys, on this blog. I know that there aren’t many of you, and that whatever I’m posting isn’t enough to get most of you back daily, but I’m going to start working on that from now.
