Durt: The Copernicus Question

By James Slater

In the follow-up to author James Slater's 2016 debut novel, Claustrom, we meet the younger version of Durt Larson, the brash Alaskan rescue pilot. Durt doesn't back down. From anything.

BEFORE HYPERGATES and New Manhattan. Before pirates and the crash landing on Claustrom, Durt Larson flew rescue missions in Alaska, Earth's remote Park Service Preserve of the 30th century. The only one who loves flying as much as Durt does is his faithful Husky, Buzz.

He flies a 20th-century plane with 30th-century upgrades, and his fearlessness is matched only by his uncanny flying abilities and his desire to make a name for himself. While covering a mission for a friend, a chance meeting brings him face-to-face with an opportunity to fly somewhere beyond Alaska's perils.

Alaska has taught him plenty about survival but nothing about the darkness of men's souls. Alone in an unfamiliar world, he makes enemies as quickly as he makes friends, many of whom have little regard for human life. When he unwittingly steps into a corporate power struggle in the lunar metropolis, Copernicus, he must rely on his will and his skill to survive.
