When Clifford crash lands on the planet of Abaddon, he might as well be dead: a terrible plague and a strict quarantine mean that no one leaves Abaddon alive.
 
Clifford isn’t the only dead man walking. Corporate mercenaries and desperate survivors are looking for ways to live in a hostile world. Constantly on the run from flesh-hungry monsters, there’s no chance to escape or to build something more.
 
But when Clifford makes a discovery that could change the meaning of Abaddon, loyalty clashes with survival in a story about how to live with the certainty of death.
 
PRAISE for Ashes of the Ancestors, Luyna Novella #14
 
“What Knighton achieves most superbly is a meticulous sense of place in the heart of death/afterdeath, pyres and ashes. Sound echoes in footsteps across stairwells and hallways, as colossal chapels with naves stretch away to centuries of eternity.The story’s uniqueness carries it through to a staggering and convincing climax. Perfect for the avid reader interested in cross-cultural stories that deviate from expectations of genre, language and form.” Aurealis 159
