Escape from death row with a fiery plan

Awe of Mercury is a heart-pounding tale of an inmate's quest for escape from the circular death row before eventually being executed. The book highlights the power of hope, resilience and desperation. The story's unique feature is the protagonist's use of a toothpick, the juice of a stomach-destroying chili, and a bucket of urine to devise his plan to escape from the death row. This book is a perfect read for anyone interested in high-stakes, thrilling tales of survival and determination.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

How many escapes until freedom?

Mo is a penitent on the Death Spiral, a subterranean, circular death row. Each day, he gets closer to pen 1, where he will be executed. Trapped with the snivelling Nonstop, and only word games to pass the hours, Mo has given up. Until the memory of Harete stirs something, and he plans his most desperate escape attempt yet, with a toothpick, the juice of a stomach-destroying chilli and a bucket of urine.

Far above the Spiral, the Fartherland - his home - has disintegrated into an appalling civil war. Mo knows this was triggered by the Moth's liberation, and that he is to blame for the carnage and chaos. Mo vows revenge, but each escape is a step into an even more horrific reality than before. Unflinchingly told and truly unputdownable, AWE OF MERCURY is the stunning conclusion to CLOCKWISE TO TITAN.
