Aliya Whiteley recommends

A Blood as Bright as the Moon (2025)
Andrea Morstabilini
"A Blood as Bright as the Moon is such a charismatic book, vivid and audacious, and I love its hopeful heart. Every page is alive with awareness of how to use both genre expectations and deep emotional connections to create something quite special."

Basilisk (2025)
Matt Wixey
"As a puzzle-lover, and admirer of the internet's weirdest intricacies, I found Basilisk incredibly immersive. If Only Connect and The Matrix had a murderous, smiling, dark-web baby, it would be something like this: both ferociously clever and capable of making me think deeply scary thoughts."

Calypso (2024)
Oliver K Langmead
"Huge in scope and heart, elegant in structure, and filled with an ocean of thoughts about humanity and our future: Calypso is a stunning creation."
