The Smoke

One of the most original and accomplished science fiction writers working today.

NINA ALLAN, AUTHOR OF THE RIFT

A singular, uncompromising achievement.

WARREN ELLIS

A haunting, beautifully written tale of edgelands and edgelives.

ROGER LEVY, AUTHOR OF THE RIG

Fearsome, tender, witty and weird, The Smoke is a searingly inventive, sumptuously written novel about love and grief in the Yorkshire space age. A masterful vision of another past – or future.

M.T. HILL, AUTHOR OF ZERO BOMB

As weird and jittery as a caffeine overdose, and possibly the most heartbreakingly evocative book you will read this year.

GARETH L. POWELL, AUTHOR OF EMBERS OF WAR

Compelling and beautifully realized.

LOCUS

Fulfilling and thought provoking.

BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY

An intense meditation on loneliness, capital and cognition.

RISING SHADOW

Simon Ings has created a distinctive world and style that captures the weirdness of what might have been.
