Nathan Tavares recommends
Hel's Eight (2023)
Stark Holborn
"With scalpel-sharp prose, Holborn carves beauty out of a brutal world where possibilities are both a blessing and a weapon. For all the sand-blasted action and brawls against an unknowable terror, it's ultimately the tale of a main character - a double-sided coin of grace and gruffness - on a journey for redemption. 'Hel's Eight' holds all the grit of 'Mad Max: Fury Road' with a smoky mezcal chaser that lingers long after the final page."
The Strange (2023)
Nathan Ballingrud
"As thrilling as it is heartfelt. Told through the memorable, feisty voice of a precocious young woman, The Strange explores greed and grief against an unforgiving landscape that bucks against the human obsession to conquer and own. The action and fascinating alternate history snare attention, and the characters - each haunted by ghosts of their own'glimmer off the page."
