This groundbreaking new novel from one of the genre's most respected authors is a thrilling mix of science, magic and politics.

In Harmony, only model citizens are welcome.

A perfect society must be maintained. The defective must be eradicated. For orphans like Nico and Twostar, this means a life that's brutal, regulated and short.

But Nico and Twostar are survivors, and when they're offered a way out of the slums, they take it.

Unfortunately, no one told Nico the deal included being sentenced to death for the murder of one of Harmony's most notorious gang leaders.

Or that to gain his freedom, first he must lose his mind.

Reviews for Switch

Socially conscious SF with a blistering thriller plot - Sci-Fi Now As bloody minded about entertainment as it is about deep thoughts, and it's all done with Robson's characteristic verve. The plot is a zippy confection of double crosses and action scenes, and the dialogue is beautifully snappy. - SFX The Glorious Angels is an outstanding piece of work that requires a lot from the reader. But what they receive in return is glorious indeed - Starburst Magazine An intriguing tale of war, internecine politics and ancient technologies - The Financial Times The Glorious Angels is an outstanding piece of work that requires a lot from the reader. But what they receive in return is glorious indeed - Starburst Magazine An intriguing tale of war, internecine politics and ancient technologies [GLORIOUS ANGELS review] - The Financial Times The work of a smart and sexy novelist having smart and sexy fun [KEEPING IT REAL review] - Locus It's a slow-burner of a novel, beautifully written, and Robson drip-feeds the world-building and the various plot-strands at a stately pace that picks up to become a taut thriller swimming in high concepts [GLORIOUS ANGELS] - Independent
