English Summary/英文概要： THEOREM: Petrovitch has a lot of secrets. PROOF: Secrets like how to make anti-gravity for one. For another, he’s keeping a sentient computer program on a secret server farm - the same program that nearly destroyed the Metrozone a few months back. THEOREM: The city is broken. PROOF: The people of the OutZone want what the citizens of the Metrozone have. And then to burn it to the ground. Now, with the heart of the city destroyed by the New Machine Jihad, the Outies finally see their chance. THEOREM: These events are not unconnected. PROOF: Someone is trying to kill Petrovitch and they’re willing to sink the whole city to do it.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 定理：彼德罗维奇有很多秘密。证明：像是不受重力控制的秘密。或者说，他在某个秘密服务器场中维持运行一个有情感的电脑程序--正是这同一程序在几个月前几乎摧毁了整个都市。定理：城市是支离破碎的。证明：外面的人渴望着里面的人拥有的一切。他们将这一切焚烧殆尽，当新机器圣战摧毁城市中心的那一刻来临，围城外的人们仿若看到了他们的机会降临。定理：这一系列事件并非毫无关联。证明：有人正密谋着暗杀彼德罗维奇，他们很想让整个城市都为此疯狂。(兼职翻译-DC)

Dr. Simon Morden, B.Sc. (Hons., Sheffield) Ph.D (Newcastle) is a bona fide rocket scientist, having degrees in geology and planetary geophysics. Unfortunately, that sort of thing doesn’t exactly prepare a person for the big wide world of work: he’s been a school caretaker, admin assistant, and PA to a financial advisor. He’s now employed as a part-time teaching assistant at a Gateshead primary school, which he combines with his duties as a house-husband, attempting to keep a crumbling pile of Edwardian masonry upright, wrangling his two children and providing warm places to sleep for the family cats. His not-so-secret identity as journeyman writer started when he sold the short story Bell, Book and Candle to an anthology, and a chaotic mix of science fiction, fantasy and horror followed. Heart came out to critical acclaim, and Another War was shortlisted for a World Fantasy Award, but with The Lost Art, things suddenly got serious. Contracts. Agents. Deadlines. Responsibility. Scary stuff. The Lost Art was subsequently a finalist for the Catalyst Award for best teen fiction.
As well as a writer, he’s been the editor of the British Science Fiction Association’s writers’ magazine Focus, a judge for the Arthur C Clarke awards, and is a regular speaker at the Greenbelt Arts Festival on matters of faith and fiction. In 2009, he was in the winning team for the Rolls Royce Science Prize.
