Eleven Town by John-Paul Cleary
In an orbital station hundreds of miles above the Earth, the remnants of humanity lead a precarious existence. In this claustrophobic environment a new society has evolved where family bonds are supressed and people’s lives are shallow and short.

Like everyone else on the station, Deni follows the rules. But when a deadly disease strikes the station this fragile civilisation quickly disintegrates. Everyone is trapped inside with the disease and there’s no way out.

Deni encounters members of a disaffected but enlightened underworld who reveal the true purpose of Eleven Town and their revelations challenge everything he thinks about his world.

As the disease tightens its grip on the station, Deni realises the people of Eleven Town are heading towards a new future. One he never dreamt possible.


REVIEWS
‘Some interesting characters and concepts with a nice twist, reminds me of Isaac Asimov.’
George (Northern Ireland)

‘This wonderful novella reminded me of an episode of The Twilight Zone or the work of any number of esteemed sci-fi writers. Thought-provoking and packed with atmosphere, the author slowly peels away the facade of Eleven Town and each piece of new information serves to heighten the reader's enjoyment.’
Scott Whitmore (Marysville, WA, USA)

‘This book finds those moments that you don't see coming, and that somehow sparkle in the imagination to take the story in a new direction.’
Buttinaseat

‘The story develops into some major twists and turns which delight and entertain.’
A Butler ‘tanj666’ (Coventry UK)

‘The best book I've read in ages, I read this book in one afternoon, I couldn't put it down.’
Ali (UK)

‘It takes something "simple" and twists it around into a shape that is disturbing not for itself but for what it says about what could happen.’
Jarrak (UK)
