Adam Roberts recommends
Gogmagog (2024)
(Chronicles of Ludwich, book 1)
Steve Beard and Jeff Noon
"Marvellous stuff: a great flowing river of a novel, endlessly inventive, gorgeously written, pungent and haunting and gripping. This is the kind of world that, in all its strangeness, feels very real: you inhabit it rather than read about it. The dragon Faynr: chef's kiss! Can't wait for the next volume."
Three Eight One (2024)
Aliya Whiteley
"A brain-charging voyage through the present and the future, a novel that shepherds the reader out and then brings her back in, changing her in the process. It's like Kafka rewrote Pale Fire as a science-fictional novel. A Pilgrim's Progress through a godless world where the pilgrim is Patrick McGoohan's 'Prisoner.' A dream of a book, in several senses: enigmatic, marvellous, utterly original. Whiteley really is one of the most striking and brilliant writers working today."
Once a Monster (2023)
Robert Dinsdale
"What an extraordinary and wonderful achievement this novel is! I was gripped, and thrilled, and touched, and above all I was completely swept into the magic of the book . . . And the scope of the thing! Such a broad chronological range, such sweep, all with the lightest touch. Just astonishing."
