Ian McDonald recommends
Alien Clay (2024)
Adrian Tchaikovsky
"A hell prison on a hell planet with a thrilling, important message: only connect. Adrian's firing on all cylinders in this one."
Unholy Land (2018)
Lavie Tidhar
"There are SFF writers. There are good SFF writers. And there is Lavie Tidhar. In a genre entirely of his own, and quite possibly a warped genius, he rummages in the ruins of our centuries and our genres and makes out of them something strange, dark and utterly unique. There is no one like him writing in genre today. This [Unholy Land] is a twisted piece of alt-history/geography that refuses to go where lesser writers would drive it. Bold and witty and smoky, it plays games and coquetries, makes dark dalliances and will leave you dazzled and delighted."
Tomorrow Factory (2018)
Rich Larson
"Stories of growl, attack and bite - sentences muscular with taut language, sinewed with concision and outsider sensibility. Tomorrow Factory is all that SFF is capable of, all that it hopes to be - and more."
