An interstellar craft is decelerating after its century-long voyage.
Its destination is V538 Aurigae, a now-empty planet dominated by one gigantic megastructure, a conical mountain of such height that its summit is high above the atmosphere.
The ship’s crew of five hope to discover how the long-departed builders made such a colossal thing, and why: a space elevator? a temple? a work of art?
Its resemblance to the mountain of purgatory lead the crew to call this world Dante.
In our near future, the United States is falling apart.
A neurotoxin has interfered with the memory function of many of the population, leaving them reliant on their phones as makeshift memory prostheses.
But life goes on.
For Ottoline Barragão, a regular kid juggling school and her friends and her beehives in the back garden, things are about to get very dangerous, chased across the north-east by competing groups, each willing to do whatever it takes to get inside Ottoline’s private network and recover the secret inside.

Purgatory Mount, Adam Roberts’s first SF novel for three years, combines wry space opera and a fast-paced thriller in equal measure. It is a novel about memory and atonement, about exploration and passion, and like all of Roberts’s novels it’s not quite like anything else.

The Forward, interstellar exploration craft. Here, present, correct: its crew of five. To assist these brave explorers, the ship has been equipped with a great quantity of advanced technology and an even larger quantity of supplies, dry store as well as livestock – animals from pygs and sheep all the way down to chickens, mice and microbes. The ship was shaped like a kilometre-long church spire, a comparison that dates from the period when churches were architecture with common cultural currency. But only pygs go to church these days. So say, rather: the ship was shaped like a gigantic bullet, crafted of ice many hundreds of metres thick – shield, fuel and a reservoir all at once. Inside this titanic sheath was a structure made of metallic plastic, eighty major compartments and many smaller spaces and corridors, ship’s supplies and life-support. The drive shaft extended fourteen hundred metres to the rear.
Now the Forward was entering the system of V538 Aurigae. The eagles are coming! The eagles are here!
The ship was shaped like a bullet to streamline it, because interstellar space is not a vacuum. It is, rather, an extremely attenuated gas: ions, atoms and molecules spread so thinly that one might encounter only a single atom in each cubic kilometre (or, of course, one might encounter areas considerably more dense with particles). At the speeds needful for interstellar travel, even flying into the path of one molecule releases significant energy, and flying for centuries at very high speeds is, in effect, to fly through an atmosphere. Moreover, at such speeds, evasive action is sluggish and limited, and however good one’s forward sensors, there is always the chance that your craft will encounter a damaging, perhaps even a catastrophic collision event on your travels. It all adds to the spice of the journey. But the Forward made it to V538 Aurigae without such disaster. Indeed, if one believed in Providence, one might find fortuity in the fact that our natal star, the Sun, happens to exist in what is called ‘the Local Bubble’, a relative cavity in the interstellar medium some 300 light-years in breadth and height, in which the density of space is markedly lower than the surroundings. The unusually sparse gaseous and molecular matter in this cavity is the result of a supernova explosion fifteen million years ago, the force of which cleared much of this space. This works to facilitate travel between stars in our local group. And so human beings pour into this space, flying in all directions, because, like Mallory with Everest, space in every direction is there. Dark, dark, dark – oh, we all go into the dark. It’s almost as if Providence wants humanity to spread out from its natal star! Eagles leaving the nest…
