Guy Haley
"Guy Haley is a hidden gem of British science fiction."

Ack-ack Macaque (2012)
(Ack-ack Macaque, book 1)
Gareth L Powell
"Gareth Powell is going to be a major voice in SF."

Between Two Thorns (2013)

Emma Newman

The Tiger and the Wolf (2016)
(Echoes of the Fall, book 1)
Adrian Tchaikovsky
"A classically brilliant fantasy writer, a pusher of boundaries, a great storyteller."

Every Heart a Doorway (2016)
(Wayward Children, book 1)
Seanan McGuire
"Seanan McGuire once again demonstrates her intimate knowledge of the human heart in a powerful fable of loss, yearning and damaged children."

The War in the Dark (2018)
(War in the Dark, book 1)
Nick Setchfield
"Nick Setchfield's occult spy thriller is a smooth blend of James Bond and M.R. James, played with tons of wit and style. This is something new that entertains like something old. Triumphantly suave."

Ten Low (2021)
Stark Holborn
"A gritty space western that fans of The Mandalorian should lap up. As always, Stark Holborn makes us feel immediately for the characters to the point where we'll follow them through hell. And we do."

Something More Than Night (2021)
Kim Newman
"Kim Newman is slowly making his way into the canon of English literary greats, where he'd be both entirely at home and deeply uncomfortable. He describes perfectly the way fiction has invaded our real lives, and he got there first."
