End of the World Blues

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

Now running a biker bar in the Roppongi district of Tokyo, Kit is also sleeping with the wife of a Yakusa ganglord. All things considered, being held up at gunpoint isn't a complete shock. The pale girl in the red cloak appearing from nowhere and punching an ivory spike through his attacker's head on the other hand...

Nijie has stolen fifteen million dollars, she's on the run, she's just killed a man and she has a cat that knows more than it should. It's a lot to deal with when you haven't even left school.

shortlisted Arthur C Clarke Award/BSFA award
lead hardback - Gollancz
£12.99 August 2006

'A hallucinogenic noir thriller that mixes elements of Bladerunner, Borges and Bulgakov... Highly readable entertainment, and highly intelligent speculation (especially if you like talking cats).' The Telegraph
