Smoke rises on the horizon.

Two ships burn.

Bodies float everywhere…

It’s almost a bad haiku.

Three months later, a high-tech, high-budget, and really overkill motorcade screeches through the night-time streets of Los Angeles. Only one hard- nosed and bitter old cop takes note, and woe unto whoever the poor sap is on whom he’ll dish out some good old-fashioned law.

Elsewhere, meanwhile, a cruel and conflicted mother commits the gravest of sins and sets in motion a chain of events that stretches from her now-deceased abusive husband to the very end of her life.

We meet other survivors of the disaster that befell Marnatha City three years earlier and find that the City touches different people in different ways…

And no-one’s ever the better for it.

This is the third volume of the Ursa Major Award-winning adult anthropomorphic thriller Heathen City, written by Alex Vance and illustrated by an international team of artists.
