Ray Nayler recommends
Rakesfall (2024)
Vajra Chandrasekera
"A work of boundless creativity. Every mind-expanding chapter is another twist of the kaleidoscope. This is a fearless, hallucinatory novel that takes colonial (and all) power structures on with art and style."
Moonbound (2024)
(Penumbraverse)
Robin Sloan
"A lightning bolt crackling with new ideas, zigzagging its way between Gibson and Le guin."
Someone You Can Build a Nest In (2024)
John Wiswell
"This novel is for anyone who has ever felt like an outcast - or been bewildered by society's absurdities. I fell in love with Shesheshen's wry voice and dark sense of humor."
