About the book
Transmentation | Transience is a vast vast mind-bending and multi-world-spanning novel by the writing collective, Darkly Lem. The book is set in a universe that has emerged over thousands of years and covers thousands of worlds; a universe in which interdimensional travellers have arisen. These are worlds replete with complex characters seeking power, glory or knowledge, and features stunning world building and cutting-edge science fiction concepts. All these elements build into an intricately woven work that raises questions about the very nature of the universe.
The book has already been compared to the works of Tamsyn Muir, Jeff VanderMeer, and The Expanse series.
The evening promises to be a totally unmissable treat for science fiction and speculative fiction fans!
