ABZU

'Return. Complete Convergence.' In a near-future London, not long after wayward geoengineering practices have led to Earth's total ecological collapse, bruised idealists search for meaning in what remains, unearthing a mystery that appears to underpin Creation itself. Meanwhile, in the far distant past, a prince marches to war, unaware that his choices will ripple out for millennia to come. At the centre of it all: Convergence – a spatiotemporal juncture of uncertain proportions; humanity's last chance… or its final undoing. AUTHOR'S NOTES: Before you read… ABZU is – by design – a chonky boi: a million-piece puzzle with no reference image. You’ll pick up pieces that don’t seem to fit, only to realise – chapters later – they were essential all along. This is a dense work of British science fiction, intended for readers who enjoy piecing things together rather than having everything explained immediately. If that’s your kind of story, I hope you'll have fun here. Regarding updates… ABZU is a complex narrative in active development. Chapters may be released at uneven intervals, with earlier material subject to revision as the story "converges" (pun intended) towards its final form.
