Description: "Hardboiled as f*** with writing as fierce and sharp as a paper-cut." --Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls "With prose chiseled to hardboiled perfection and a tale that throbs with the keen ache of noir, Adam Sternbergh's Shovel Ready reads like William Gibson as directed with inky brilliance by Christopher Nolan. Debut novels as sleek, resonant and accomplished as this are a rare gift." --Megan Abbott, author of Dare Me " Shovel Ready tosses you off a precipice and you don't know where you're going to land. Dark and often funny, with sparse, sharp language. Think Charlie Huston's dystopian New York meets Richard Stark's anti-hero--this is good, bitter fun." --Toby Barlow, author of Sharp Teeth and Babayaga "Compulsive!Savage future noir that crackles with deadpan wit." -- Nick Harkaway, author of The Gone-Away World and Angelmaker " Shovel Ready is an elegant, lean and clever noir. It's the best sci-fi thriller I've read since Snow Crash ." --Roger Hobbs, author of Ghostman "A terrific debut. It hasthe grimy neon feel of Warren Ellis's Transmetropolitan combined with a touch of Philip K. Dick's gonzo cyberpunk." --Austin Grossman, author of You and Soon I Will Be Invincible "[Sternbergh] combines stunning narrative sleight-of-hand with an ability to create flesh-and-blood characters who bring humor and a resilient humanity to their torn-asunder world. Mixing dystopian science fiction and urban noir with a Palahniuk swagger, this could well be the first novel everybody is talking about over the next few months." -- Booklist (starred review)
