Y’Goth, privateer captain of the NightBird class cargo liner Carapace, and C-Clan runaway, is on a seemingly insane mission: to rob a deep space installation owned by the mysterious Nesters—incorporeal human minds running on bio-gaseous computers.
He and three of his renegade C-Clan brothers have pulled off similar heists twice before. But their luck isn't holding. And somehow Y'Goth has burdened himself with a skittish passenger who is reluctant to participate in such brigandry.
Then comes word that their bio-dad, their biological progenitor from whom they escaped twelve years ago, has sent agents to destroy them, or bring them back under his genetic thrall. The agents are closing in, and they're not the forgiving type.
Set in a posthuman future when mankind has splintered into thousands of factions, scattered itself across the galaxy, shaped and augmented itself into endless biological, mechanical and informational forms, NightBird Calling is the first in a series of works exploring the history, cultures and societies of the posthuman diaspora: the Posthuman Cycle.
