I read it in audio format but after the fact, I kinda wish that I had read it as print. The fact that it is SF written as Poetry.


The one thing that drew me here to this book happened, in the final estimation, to be the least important aspect: Haunted by the ghosts of his past and chased by his addictions, which will crack first, Virgil or the case? Aided by his partner Dante, Virgil begins to shed light on the dark city’s even darker secrets.
DARKSTAR ONE ARTEFACTS FULL
With the ghosts of his last case still haunting his thoughts, he craves justice for the young woman found dead with veins full of glowing. Vox needs a hero, and it falls to cop Virgil Yorke to investigate.īut Virgil has had a long cycle and he doesn’t feel like a hero. When Cancer is stolen, the weaponisation of its raw power threatens to throw Vox into chaos. The body of young Vivian North, her blood shining brightly with unnatural light, has no place on the streets. Prometheus, liquid light, is the drug of choice. Hearts that bring power to the light-deprived citizens of the city of Vox whilst ghosts haunt the streets, clawing at headlights. In Vox’s permanent night, light bulbs are precious, the rich live in radiance and three Hearts beat light into the city. The city of Vox survives in darkness, under a sun that burns without light.
