In a black hole you fall forever…

Hijacked by Ness – its rogue navigator – the missionary spaceship, Domina Penelope, plummets towards a lethal black star…

Meanwhile Bee McKenzie – the ship’s helmsman – battles to alter course. First, though, she has to convince Jarvis, their new Father, why this is more urgent than eating cake…

Down on the space colony of Freyja, Father Chadwick and his settlers confront the awful truth about their new home…

In Perfect World, the third book in this trilogy, the mission is shaken to the core as its entire purpose is exposed as a cold-blooded lie. Who among the remaining spacefarers – Bee, Jarvis or Chadwick – will find a way to beat insurmountable odds and still locate their new Earth?

Previous books in the trilogy, Brightest Star and Sun God, have been shortlisted for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards best science-fiction adult novel.
