About this eBook
The world of Heven was populated, centuries ago, by Melanesian settlers from distant Earth. It is a peaceful, quiet world – yet it harbours ancient secrets.
Kal just wants to fly. But flying is the one thing forbidden on Heven – a world dominated by the mysterious, ever present clouds in the skies. What do they hide? For Kal, finding the answer might mean his death – but how far will you go to realise your dreams?
Set against the breathtaking vista of a world filled with mystery and magic, Cloud Permutations is a planetary romance with a unique South Pacific flavour, filled with mythic monsters, ancient alien artefacts, floating islands and a quest to find a legendary tower. . . whatever the cost.
REVIEWS:
“A meditation on the making and meaning of cultural myths” – World Literature Today
“Wonderful novella. . . his writing is as powerful and lovingly handled as any old master” – Tangent
“Wonderful and touching” – Rising Shadow Review
“An impressive science fiction tale. . . It is Tidhar’s refreshing telling that makes it special.” – Locus
