When linguist Edvard Tøssentern vanishes into thin air in pursuit of an obsession, his companion Anna Camenes flies to the Ferendes to look for him. There, Edvard’s colleagues are increasingly disturbed by nefarious activities taking place around their research station.

When a second man goes missing, intelligence analyst Richard Worse joins the investigation. Together, they will face cold-hearted villainy – and mysteries more baffling than the mind can conjure.

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

The Weaver Fish is fiendishly clever … a novel unlike anything you’ve read before.’ Books+Publishing

‘You won’t have read anything quite like this before.’ Scoop Magazine

‘That Edeson can balance action clichés with gorgeous scientific asides is proof of his unique gifts. The Weaver Fish is not merely ambitious but unclassifiable.’ Australian Book Review

‘Forget the purple weaver fish: this is a book of a thousand red herrings all of which eventually connect with congenial characters a good serve of suspense and a dash of romance thrown in. More please.’ Adelaide Advertiser

‘Evocative writing in which the science is an essential character. The ideas stimulate and mesmerise.’ Robyn Williams ABC Radio National The Science Show
