The bumf:

The Extended Mind is under threat.

Grendel assembles a team of Defenders in a virtual fortress of Tam’s design – but will it be enough? Even if they can stop the invaders from destroying the Mind, their reality will still be changed forever.

Meanwhile, the world beyond the border is gradually encroaching: strange creatures have started emerging from the sea, and the arrival of a visitor prompts questions about the future. Questions whose answers lie behind the velvet curtains of a group that’s emerged from the fragmentation of the Extended Mind – a group that conjures fear and curiosity in equal measure: an enigmatic roving band that calls itself “The Circus”.

THE FRACTURED MIND, is the second book in THE MIND TRILOGY – a fast-paced, exploration of a what happens when a utopian state based around augmented reality goes wrong.
