In a dystopian Britain, HellSans is a ubiquitous typeface, enforced by the government in all communications and public spaces. The ultimate control device, it induces bliss in the majority of the population, but for a persecuted minority, it causes an extreme allergic reaction. When successful CEO Jane Ward suddenly falls ill with the allergy, she becomes embroiled in the government’s internal power struggles and everything she’s worked for slips away.
Dr Icho Smith has developed a cure, but she’s been forced on the run from both the government and the Seraphs – a ‘terrorist’ group of allergy sufferers who have their own agenda for the cure. Now Jane and Icho, two people from very different backgrounds, must work together to expose government corruption and bring the cure to the country. Offering a unique approach to the perspectives of the have and have-nots, parts one and two of this three-part book can be read in either order.
Ever Dundas is the author of Goblin, which won the Saltire First Book Award. She has ME and Fibromyalgia and has funneled her anger at how disabled people are treated into HellSans.
