What do you do if your new best friend is mankind’s worst enemy? Panic, probably. That’s definitely Josiah Tarrant’s first and preferred option. Raised on a backwater dustball and taught from an early age how to run the family business, he’s about to find out why most of what he ‘knows’ isn’t true. He’s got a new uniform (tight in all the wrong places), a celebration of his cresting manhood and his parents’ funeral to attend. They’re not dead but it’s a tradition thing, so best not to ask. On top of all this, he’s still got to meet Bixby. Genteel servant, loyal friend and mathematical genius; Bixby is the reason the family even has a business. It’s just a shame his very existence is illegal. Josiah Tarrant is about to have the busiest, most eye-opening day of his life. Will he face it with the courage of his ancestors? Unlikely. Will he rise to the challenge with fortitude, determination and a hitherto undiscovered inner strength? Probably not. Will he emerge from the mess of his own creation a new, enlightened, all-around better man? Frankly, it’s not looking good… But most importantly, if he tries his absolute hardest, can he just once remember not to automatically reply with ‘Josiah’ when someone asks his name?
