About The Book

A solarpunk masterpiece from a writer who champions a positive, inclusive and deep-thinking version of future possibilities.

The Pulldogs leave Rome to embrace a new condition: leaving no trace of their passage, they shape a new challenging lifestyle: wandering around the world as neo-nomads to spread their solarpunk way of living and to engage on a never-ending mission to save endangered human cultures with nanites. But the vision of Alan and Nicolas about how the Pulldogs should live collide, and as a consequence, they split in two groups: one goes North to live in the beautiful wilderness of Siberia and Mongolia, while the other goes South to save the Dogon tribe from a possible extinction due to climate change in Central Africa. But at the end everybody - including a new generation of Pulldogs - will have to come back to Rome, where their incredible transformation started many years before. Sequel to the celebrated The Roamers.

Raves and Reviews

"A wise, inventive, challenging and thought-provoking omnibus..."

– Locus Magazine

"This is exciting stuff and is first rate futurism."

– James Patrick Kelly, Nebula, Locus and Hugo Award winner

"Our world is closing in. We're in danger of becoming parochial and tribal. This is why Francesco Verso is such an important voice in SF. Here's a writer and publisher from outside the anglosphere, not just reminding us that SFF is a global literature and a global language but working in tireless support of writers and literature from all across the planet. Listen to what he has to say."

– Ian McDonald

"The Roamers is an urgent, impassioned work for our times that cements Francesco Verso’s place at the forefront of European SF writers working today. Not to be missed!"

– Lavie Tidhar
