The Genius Asylum (Sic Transit Terra Book 1)

The truth is out there…

Earth Intelligence and Space Installation Security each think Drew Townsend is working for them. They’re wrong.

Sent undercover to set up a covert intelligence operation on Earth’s remotest space station, Drew Townsend finds himself managing a crew of brilliant mavericks, making friends with the most feared warriors in the galaxy, and feeling more at home in the controlled insanity of Daisy Hub than he ever did on Earth. Then he learns the truth about his mission there, and it’s time to choose. In the coming interplanetary conflict, which side will Daisy Hub be on?’

Like the clues of a cryptic crossword, each book set in the Sic Transit Terra universe contains a puzzle – perhaps a riddle, perhaps a maze or an anagram – and in each case, the answer to the smaller puzzle brings the reader and characters one step closer to solving a much larger and more important one. The Genius Asylum is ‘1 Across’ – it initiates a multi-book story arc that addresses one of the great mysteries of life: Why are we humans the way that we are?

Praise:

“THE GENIUS ASYLUM is smart, gripping, and breakneck. I’d wait for the movie, except I don’t want to wait: I want to read more! A convincingly realized future, smartass cynical policing at its best, and a thorough romp! More, please!” – Ed Greenwood, creator of The Forgotten Realms

“Exciting and suspenseful, logical and believable, with lots of wry humour tucked in here and there.” — Karleen Bradford, author of The Taun Trilogy and recipient of the Canadian Library Association Award for There Will be Wolves.

“The Genius Asylum/ is a fun, galloping tale of intrigue, espionage and mayhem which takes place in the distant future on Daisy Hub, an orbiting station in space. When the station manager dies under suspicious circumstances, Drew Townsend is sent to take charge and solve the mystery.

Daisy Hub is populated by a group of brilliant misfits who have initiated illicit trading with the Nandrians, an alien race of warrior-merchants, all of which makes for an action-packed, surprising, and often hilarious adventure. Marks’s seamless writing, sense of humour, and skilled story-telling make this a delightful read for anyone who enjoys a good science fiction adventure.” — J. A. McLachlan, author of The Occassional Diamond Thief
