The Glasgow Science Fiction and Fantasy Bookgroup

Please be aware, we have had reports that emails have been sent to authors asking for money to be featured on this site and discussed by this group. If you have come here from a link in such an email please ignore it. We are an group of like-minded souls who meet in person once a month to discuss Science Fiction and Fantasy and have never offered any kind of incentive to feature in our monthly discussions. Despite or many discussions we still have plenty to be getting on with! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

The Works of Vermin

Enter the decadent, deadly city of Tiliard.

In a complex, chaotic metropolis, Guy Moulène has a simple goal: keep his sister out of debt. For her sake, he’ll take on any job, no matter how vile.

As an exterminator, Guy hunts the uncanny pests that crawl up from the river. These vermin are all strange, and often dangerous. His latest quarry is different: a worm the size of a dragon with a deadly venom and a ravenous taste for artwork. As it digests Tiliard from the sewers to the opera houses, its toxin reshapes the future of the city. No sane person would hunt it, if they had the choice.

Guy doesn’t have a choice.
