After 150 years as a tranquil, staunchly religious colony of Earth, the planet Tennyson is rocked by a series of deadly terrorist bombings, among the victims of which are several people who are later identified as revolutionaries. Called in especially from the Home Forces on Earth because of his stalwart reputation, Maj. Dyle Holloway leads a crack team of detectives that includes the mind of a dead investigative genius downloaded into the body of an android, a shaky demolitions expert, and a police officer who may be a spy from headquarters. As Holloway wrestles with his own paranoia and nightmarish flashbacks to the only case he never solved--the murder of his wife--the evidence begins to indicate that the culprit behind the bombings is a high-level member of Tennyson's own government - in fact, the man who hired the investigators.

Flanders is the breakout novel by Patricia Anthony, whose award-winning science fiction has transcended the genre through the sheer power of her storytelling. Anthony’s first true mainstream novel, it is a powerful evocation of the First World War—and the passage between life and death that reveals itself to one young soldier. World War I, Flanders, Northern France The British trenches grow wet and foul. For Travis Lee Stanhope, a Texan sharpshooter serving in an English unit, the war is not hell, but home. Each night he ventures into No Man’s Land between his comrades and the German trenches, and waits. At dawn, he begins his methodical sniping of enemy troops. Then he returns. His confirmed kill list is exemplary. But Travis Lee is changing. His senses are ravaged by the unending scream of shells overhead. His mind is numbed by too many rations of rum. His soul is bled dry by the constant death all around him. And yet, in his dreams, something still lives. He sees a world like the war, yet unlike, where the living are the same as the walking dead. The people there are his comrades killed in action. Sometimes they are stranded with him on the battlefield. Sometimes they lie in glass-covered graves in an Eden-like cemetery. He tries to ease their pain. But no one can ease his pain. And it will take more than death, and more than dreams, to make Travis Lee realize that he may have a function in this war beyond killing his enemies.

Patricia Anthony was born on March 29, 1947, in San Antonio, Texas in the family of Ray Anthony and Evelyn Haas.
Anthony studied at Robert E. Lee High School in San Antonio, which is now called Legacy of Educational Excellence High School. She acquired her B.A. in English literature at the University of Texas in Austin. Anthony completed coursework for M.A. at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Florianopolis, Brazil.
Anthony started her career as as teacher after graduation from the University of Texas. In the late 1960s and then in 1970s as a professor of English literature she lectured at the University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal and was an associate professor of English at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Florianopolis, Brazil.
In 1978 Anthony returned to United States and settled in Dallas. There, she worked at The Dallas Morning News for 14 years while trying to get published and also taught creative writing at Southern Methodist University for three years.
Anthony's first published (though fourth written) book was Cold Allies, which was released in 1992. This work was very warmly taken by critics and even won the Locus Best First Novel Award in 1993. Nevertheless her following work, Brother Termite, is probably best-known and most critically acclaimed work. That was so popular, that James Cameron acquired the rights to produce movie based on it and John Sayles wrote a script, but the filming process closed soon after the beginning. For several following years Anthony was releasing a book per year, but her later works God's Fires and Flanders were rather metaphysical historicals than science fiction. They were not so commercially successful as her previous books despite positive reviews, which didn't please her publisher Ace Books and led to the end of their collaboration. Her last published book with Ace was Eating Memories, a collection of tales from previous years.
After the publication of Flanders, Anthony tried to build a career in screenwriting, though none of her scripts were approved. Anthony created one more novel in 2006, but it wasn't published neither before nor after her death in 2013.
