About the Book

"A critical, crucial voice in modern Science Fiction" (China MiEville), Jon Courtenay Grimwood delivers future noir of mind-bending realities and ever-changing possibilities. Iraqi war vet and part owner of an Irish pub in Tokyo, Kit Nouveau gave up on life a long time ago. But then his life is saved by a runaway, and Kit's past might be the only thing that can save him from impending disaster. "Raymond Chandler for the 21st century."-Esquire

Jon Courtenay Grimwood lives in England. The third book in his acclaimed Arabesk series Felaheen won the 2003 British Science Fiction Association Award, appeared on Locus Magazine's 2003 Recommended Reading List, and appeared on SFSite's Best of 2003 list.

He is a four-time winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award for audiobook narration, and his voice-over credits include a featured role in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Review :

"Defiantly individual and works in that interesting margin where myth, futurism, literature, and pop culture all interbreed."

-- "Times (London)"

"Fast yet humane, hip yet bizarre, futuristic yet embedded in the absolute present moment of the world, Jon Courtenay Grimwood's novels read like thrillers but maintain a kind of caring irony and clarity of political vision which not only make him one of the best of the new UK SF writers but suggest new directions for every kind of writing."

-- "M. John Harrison, author of Light"

"Grimwood's latest tale reads as if Kurt Vonnegut were writing manga for the producers of Doctor Who."

-- "Publishers Weekly"

"Raymond Chandler for the 21st century."

-- "Esquire"

"With Grimwood you find yourself caught in the enchantment of his fiction until that inevitable moment when something so nasty happens in such clinical detail that you want to look away, only, of course, you can't...Grimwood's best novel by far."

-- "SFSite.com"
