Peter Hubbard is a high-status professional, sheltered high above roaming climate refugees and London's withering proletariat. While the masses ossify through their addiction to the 'link', his modest aspirations keep him and Jenn firmly rooted - at least, that's his plan. Why would he ever want to change that?But his overbearing mentor has other ideas, forcing Peter to accept a test mission in orbit. An unplanned relationship develops, and his path crosses a doomed Intelligence Operative's in a most unexpected way. Fearing for Jenn's safety, Peter returns to Earth, only to be pulled deeper into the shadowy world of espionage, where not only his identity is inevitably shattered......but his life also, irrevocably consumed.Eternal Spies blends popular genres 'Hard Sci-Fi' and 'Spy-Fi' to create a future world of corporate-state dominance and counter-espionage, amidst an indifferent population addicted to computer generated fantasies......a society not too far-removed from today's?
