New Title From Eric Brown Due Out May 2013

Solaris Books has announced that a new sci-fi novel from Eric Brown can be expected May 2013. The new book will be titled The Serene Invasion. Brown is the author of such novels as Helix, Guardians of the Phoenix, and The Kings of Eternity.
The new novel sees a chaotic and desperate Earth saved by benevolent aliens, the Serene. But not all humans are grateful for this intervention.
The Serene Invasion will combine both a moving message for our times and hope for the future with a vision of the basest of human emotion – yet again confirming Brown as a bold, strong, and authoritative voice in the world of science fiction.
The year is 2025 and the world is riven by war, terrorist attacks, poverty and increasingly desperate demands for water, oil, and natural resources. Sally Walsh, working in drought stricken Uganda, is torn between the need to perform her duty as a doctor and the need to get out after four years in the field. Then she is kidnapped by terrorists and threatened with death...
What saves her life is the arrival of an extraterrestrial race from Delta Pavonis - the Serene, whose intervention in the affairs of humanity will change everything.
Some people, however, oppose the benign invasion of the Serene, and will stop at nothing to return to the bad old days.
