Lavie Tidhar recommends
One Mile and Two Days Before Sunset (2022)
(Lost Detective Trilogy, book 1)
Shimon Adaf
"In Shimon Adaf's Lost Detective Trilogy, what begins as conventional mystery becomes by degrees a brilliant deconstruction not just of genre but of our own search for meaning. Both profound and compulsively readable, these books demand to be devoured."
The City Inside (2022)
Samit Basu
"The City Inside is a triumphant exploration of near-future India that is as compelling as it is urgent. Don't miss this one."
Notes from the Burning Age (2021)
Claire North
"An impassioned, urgent and compelling new work that burns as bright as the fires of our own burning age. This is not to be missed."
