The world' s elite use the ocean planet of Lure as a luxury vacation hub for a decade. But when climate change threatens Earth' s long-term habitability, many of those who can afford it move to Lure for good. When the opportunity to work there for a year is offered to visual artist Jo Sparta, as part of a group of artists collaborating on a large-scale installation of public art, it seems like the chance of a lifetime. But then, Jo stumbles across a nefarious plot by her corporate benefactors and feels compelled to go public. Lure showcases Milburn' s rich visual imagination, with the planet Lure itself an ever-seductive, otherworldly paradise against which he spotlights themes of climate change, the disparity of wealth, and the value of art - all in the service of a grippingly moral thriller.
Lure presents a reality that' s effortless to enter. It' s a book that is full of imaginative visual feasts. But what at first seems like science fiction reveals itself to be eerily familiar. I' m struck by Milburn' s keen ability to mix the ordinary with the fantastical. Lure poses an ethical dilemma to its readers and its characters, and in a refreshing and disquieting way, there are no easy answers. --Nick Drnaso (Sabrina)
