Neom (2022)
(Central Station)
Lavie Tidhar
"Yet again, Lavie Tidhar's future world of Neom is exciting and distinctive, his characters complex and fascinating, and his themes powerful and thought-provoking. [Tidhar] is the best sort of science fiction."
thumb
Nothing But Blackened Teeth (2021)
Cassandra Khaw
"Khaw is always compulsively readable. This was a wonderful haunted house story, modern characterizations in compelling tension with a lyrically beautiful ancient Japanese residence."
thumb
Unity (2021)
Elly Bangs
"Unity manages to be simultaneously exciting and philosophical, a brilliant gut-punch of a novel. I cannot wait to see what Elly Bangs does next."
