A planet with an absolute “up” and “down”, a place where lower latitudes tilt ever more wildly towards an infinite drop into the abyss of deep space.

Topland, the territories around the North Pole, are the only level spaces and fiercely defended against the invaders from below.

The Slant is a fantastic novel about an ordinary human forced to survive in an alien environment, a world so extreme its inhabitants have to struggle and fight each day for their survival. The story recalls the sense of wonder created in masterpieces such as Rendezvous with Rama and Ringworld. Robert Gibson evokes the golden age of Science Fiction.
