Jon Wallace has written a series of short, high-action yet thoughtful SF thrillers. Controversial yet full of dark humour these are rewarding SF thrillers that echo the pleasures of noir and bring a sharp new perspective to British SF.
REVIEW:
To be honest I spend a lot of time reading post-apocalyptic titles and whilst this is the third book in the series by Jon, I’ve had quite a lot of fun reading Jon’s work as I love the humour within which when blended with a host of characters that keep the world evolving make this something of a joy to sit down with.
As with previous outings, the prose is sharp, the dialogue wonderfully involving for the reader and when backed with a writing style that is addictive makes this a series that’s a joy to spend time around. Back this up finally with a good few twists, some cracking highs and lows and all round cracking concepts make this a series that’s a treat. Cracking.
