M. John Harrison is a British science fiction writer who knows how to harmoniously combine phantasmagoric images, choreographically refined action and deep psychologism. The Void is the final novel in the Kefauci Tract trilogy, which includes the amazing Light and the stunning Nova Swing. Together they make up a luxurious, stylistically captivating narrative that can satisfy the tastes of the most discerning reader, without leaving aside the dashingly twisted plot. In the near future, the measured life of an elderly widow is disrupted by surreal signs and visits. Centuries later, the cargo ship Nova Swing takes on illegal cargo, and the cost of transporting it will exceed all imaginable expectations. At the same time, on a distant planet, in a zone where ordinary physics has never spent the night, a nameless female cop is trying to restore order and at the same time find herself.
