In a near future when the struggle between rationalism and religious fundamentalism has been fought to a standstill, Broken Fences explores themes of identity, allegiance and freedom. Once again there are blank areas on the map. Beyond the partitioned Borders, genetic experiments have altered human senses, and Neanderthals mix with bandits and Buddhist monks in the mountains of Central Asia. The scene is set for a tale of adventure and romance, and for the discovery, at long last, of why the Neanderthals died out. Also available in Scots as 'Braken Fences'.
