About the Author:
E. J. Swift has been making up stories for as long as she can remember, from the ridiculous to the epic. Although her work has always contained elements of the fantastical, she came to writing science fiction almost by accident, and it's given her an entire new world to explore. She loves reading and writing fiction which creates new worlds and is inspired by writers who bring the extraordinary to the ordinary. Her first published story, 'The Complex', appears in the collection Best British Fantasy 2013, as well as the January/February 2012 edition of Interzone Magazine.
Review:
"an assured and accomplished debut novel ... an absolute gem" Interzone "A fantastic blend of worldbuilding, excellent storytelling and complex characters." -- John DeNardo SF Signal "Swift's first novel, with its brilliant near-future vision of an ecologically and socially devastated world and characters who resonate with life and passion, marks her as an author to watch." -- Jackie Cassada Library Journal "A glittering first novel: a kind of flooded Gormenghast treated with the alienated polish of DeLillo's Cosmopolis. The result is a gripping novel, readable, beautiful, politically engaged and wholly accomplished. Swift is a ridiculously talented writer." Adam Roberts "Dystopia is back ... it's the characters, and what their lives show us of the fascinating, stratified world of Osiris, that are the heart of this promising debut novel" -- Nic Clarke SFX
