'The realm of the dark, bizarre and grotesque is given a new trapeze arc of life in Kim Lakin-Smith's novel Cyber Circus. Exotic characters, roaming a Dust Bowl ambience of 30s America, surrounded by the pervading aroma of stomped grass and burning lamp oil bring a rich atmosphere to this unique and quirky tale.' Storm Constantine

'A full colour mix of technologies quirky and antiquated, and a story told in lush, fluid prose. It's impossible not to lose yourself in her books.' Jordan Reyne

A tale of desperation, incoprporating drought, science, giant burowing machines, rural magic, racial tension and sensuality in the 1930's Kansas dustbowl.

Hellequin, last of the HawkEye military elite, is desperate to escape the legacy of Soul Food, the miraculous plant food that leeched the soil, destroyed his family, and instigated a bloody civil war. For a man awaiting the inevitable madness brought on by his enforced biomorph implant, there's only one choice. Run away with the circus.

Drifting above a poisoned landscape, Cyber Circus and her exotic acrobats and bioengineered freaks bring a welcome splash of colour into folk's drab lives. None more so than escaped courtesan turned-dancer Desirous Nim. When Nim's freedom and her very life are threatened, Hellequin is forced to fight again.
