A city-sized generation ship tearing through the void of space, seeking planets for humanity to colonise. But onboard, life goes on, as it has for a couple of millennia. And life on the vast craft known as Khonsu is far from perfect. While the authorities do their best, the dark underbelly of Khonsu’s society churns away.

Such a place needs a dark hero. Investigative consultant Grim (don’t call him a detective‌—‌he doesn’t like it) isn’t a hero, but he’s the closest Khonsu’s got.

Grim Khonsu is a new serialised story, a chapter appearing each week. If you like your sci-fi soaked in noir, or if you like your detectives pulled between humans and technology, then check out Grim Khonsu. You can read the first chapter at twiain.substack.com/p/chapter-1.
