Olympia Heights is set in a future corporate world, where only money and celebrity count. C-class people dread disemployment and D-classification, and homo 'niceboys' get metamorphosed into 'sphecos', a hybrid wasp-man auxillary police force with crime-busting assets.
It is the story of one spheco's quest for identity, lost family and proscribed love and also the tale of a woman's struggle to survive on the outlawed fringes of a society, where the revelation of a dark secret threatens to tear her life apart.
Homophobia and genetic cleansing. Pre-morten funerals and putting 'quality' into equality.
