36 Streets (2022)
T R Napper
"36 Streets glows bright and hallucinatory as tropical neon, goes down smooth as warm sake, cuts deep as a nano-steel blade. Napper honours classic cyberpunk with fresh perspectives and hot genre recombinations, a nasty new future gleam, the proverbial new coat of paint. But there are more austere echoes here too, of Graham Greene and Kazuo Ishiguro, of a whole post-colonial literary heritage banging to be let in. In a genre stuffed with facile hero narratives, 36 Streets consistently chooses something else - messy humanity, grey moral tones and choices, hard-edged geopolitical truth. Raw and raging and passionate, this is cyberpunk literature with a capital fucken L. Get it while it's hot!"

The Hood (2021)
(Anti-Matter of Britain Quartet, book 2)
Lavie Tidhar
"Lavie Morgan has crafted a punk epic on the mouldering bones of legend and jolted it to life with ten thousand volts of knowing wit and fury."

Dragon Heart (2019)
(Waldenau, book 1)
Peter Higgins
"Like Vintage China Mieville, but with all the violent narrative thriller of Ian Fleming at his edgiest."
