Company Town

"A thrilling near-future noir mystery....A fascinating book from a writer with great vision. --Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse Novels series ""Smart, weird dystopia."" --Margaret Atwood The skill with which Ashby introduces her various SF elements is worthy of the best Heinlein.... Company Town never falters in its pacing. It's a terrific ride. --Locus This is brave, bold, crazy storytelling at the edge and doesn't read like anything else I've seen up or down the pike. --Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Aftermath A brilliant and chilling look at our post-oil future. I haven't been this hooked by an SF novel for ages. --Charles Stross, author of the Laundry Files series Loved Company Town, Madeline Ashby's wonderfully imaginative new sci-fi mystery with a fascinating female protagonist. --Feminist Frequency The world is an updated version of Raymond Chandler's, with gray morals and broken characters, and Hwa's internal monologue has just the right balance of introspection and wit...[a] very solid page-turner. --Publishers Weekly A fascinating mix of detective noir and near-future SF with cinematic world building and a broken, but resilient, unquestionably badass heroine. --Booklist Ashby's action scenes come thick and fast...the ideas, setting and relationships that make the story really worth reading. --New Zealand Herald"
