About the Book

Short-listed for the World Fantasy Award and a finalist for the Catalyst Award, bona fide rocket scientist Simon Morden has won a considerable fan base for his mind-bending brand of SF. The first in a planned trilogy, Equations of Life stars Samuil Petrovitch, a survivor of the nuclear fallout in a futuristic St. Petersburg. He's lived as long as he has by following a few simple rules. But when he breaks one of those rules by rescuing the daughter of perhaps the most dangerous man in London, he finds himself beset by Russian mobsters, the Yakuza, and something called the New Machine Jihad.

About the Author :
Dr. Simon Morden, BSc, PhD, is a bona fide rocket scientist with degrees in geology and planetary geophysics. He's now employed as a part-time teaching assistant at a Gateshead primary school, which he combines with his duties as a house-husband. His not-so-secret identity as journeyman writer started when he sold the short story "Bell, Book, and Candle" to an anthology, and a chaotic mix of science fiction, fantasy, and horror followed. Heart came out to critical acclaim, and Another War was shortlisted for a World Fantasy Award. The Lost Art was subsequently a finalist for the Catalyst Award for Best Teen Fiction. Morden has also been the editor of the British Science Fiction Association's writers' magazine, Focus, a judge for the Arthur C. Clarke Awards, and a regular speaker at the Greenbelt Arts Festival on matters of faith and fiction. In 2009, he was on the winning team for the Rolls Royce Science Prize. Toby Leonard has worked extensively as a television, film, and voice actor. His acting credits include several appearances on the television series Underbelly and The Pacific, as well as the voice of Richard in the video Mortal Kombat: Rebirth.

Review :

"A fast-paced thriller...an absorbing read."

-- "Telegraph (London)"

"An engrossing, if occasionally goofy, adventure...Samuli's mix of action and research makes him a fresh and engaging character, and the escalating scale of danger and violence moves the plot along briskly."

-- "Publishers Weekly"

"Morden has a natural talent for a plot that keeps the reader guessing."

-- "Guardian (London)"

"Morden keeps up a breathless breakneck pace that doesn't sacrifice character depth or intelligence...The Samuel Petrovich Trilogy promises to be a fast-paced thrill ride for the cynical urban space cowboy in all of us."

-- "io9"

"Small, immoral, likably unlikable, Petrovich steps fully formed onto the neon-slick streets of London as if on the run from a classic anime."

-- "Jon Courtenay Grimwood, author of the Arabesk trilogy"

"Speeds along with energetic panache."

-- "Times (London)"
