Praise for this book
"It’s a tense and intriguing read, a blend of alt history and cyberpunk and thriller. 1988 California where San Diego is a razed landscape home to American rebels, and Japanese mechas patrol the coast? Heck yes!" - Beth Cato
"United States of Japan is one of those books that you think about long after you put it down. I haven’t been able to shake it. This is a darkly fun, clever, and unrelentingly ambitious book. Pick it up and enjoy the ride." - Kameron Hurley
"A searing vision of the persistence of hope in the face of brutality, United States of Japan is utterly brilliant." - Ken Liu
"Mind-twisting and fiercely imaginative; Tieryas fuses classic sci-fi tradition with his own powerful vision." - Jay Posey
"United States of Japan is a powerful book, unsettling at times – surreal and hypnotic. There’s a bit of Philip K Dick in here, and Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, but Peter Tieryas is his own voice, a talented author, somebody to keep an eye on for sure." - Richard Thomas
