Publisher's Synopsis
A feminist post-apocalyptic story of survival, where a lone woman who has lost her entire family and every possession, strives for fulfilment in a devastated world. Joining a gang of rebels to escape from the confines of a harsh medieval-like culture, she embarks on a perilous journey across a dark, polluted ocean in an ancient ship. During the voyage, Verity suffers extremes of physical and mental anguish, in unbearably cramped living conditions where love, hate, sex and violence are almost indistinguishable from each other. The ship barely clings to the tops of the huge, black waves as the sea buffets the vessel mercilessly. Likewise, Verity clings to hope, even as she is forced to confront life without the veneer of civilisation, with drugs and pregnancies, death and violence, love and lovers without restraint. In a poisonous, uglier planets contaminated by the legacy of wars and industry, Verity is a cunning, sexy opportunist who possesses a heart she has learnt to disregard. She's tough, but with a vulnerability. Her inner conflict is as compelling as her story. A woman's fortitude and resilience can rise above the possession and dominance of men, when the gloves are off in the battle of the sexes. The conditions in which Verity struggles for life have eroded her former beauty, but her earthy sexiness is still retained. Her courage, her foolhardiness and her sexiness make Verity a modern heroine who will take risks to get where she wants. Verity is an unusual erotic adventuress and she will take you to unexplored worlds.
