Tidhars writing is wonderfully vibrant Silvia Moreno-Garcia, bestselling author of Mexican Gothic Author Biography Lavie Tidhars novels include World Fantasy Award winner Osama, Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize winner A Man Lies Dreaming (both recently reissued by Head of Zeus) and Campbell, Neukom and Chinese Nebula winner Central Station. His latest novel By Force Alone, the first in his Anti-Matter of Britain Quartet, is published by Head of Zeus. Described as An utterly original voice in contemporary fiction and a genius of conjuring realities that are just two steps to the left of our own, Tidhar works across genres. His novels combine detective and thriller modes with poetry, science fiction and historical and autobiographical material to create a genre entirely of his own. Review This is a book to experience rather than to read, as every chapter and revisionist character expands into sheer, wonderful madness. One for the ages * Crime Time *Chaotic, wildly inventive and relentlessly entertaining * Big Issue *Tidhar fancies himself an iconoclast, and his incidental invention reaches impressive levels of delirium * The Times *A wealth of colorful tales and memorable characters * Locus *PRAISE FOR BY FORCE ALONE: A bloody, bravura performance, which Tidhar pulls off with graphic imagery and modern vernacular Guardian. As eclectic as the Sword in the Stone and as ruthless as A Game of Thrones, this retelling of the whole Arthurian legend stands alongside the very best Daily Mail. The narrative voice is deadly serious but theres a strong undercurrent of gleefulness to the profanity, violence and otherworldly magic that makes By Force Alone a whole lot of fun to dive into Spectator. Lavie Tidhar has crafted a punk epic on the mouldering bones of legend and jolted it to life with ten thousand volts of knowing wit and fury. By Force Alone eviscerates the complacent posturing of the Arthurian myth, explodes the well-worn conventions of the tale and from the shiny jagged pieces assembles a wholly fresh rollercoaster ride of cheap violence, vicious magic and messy human truth Richard Morgan. A twisted Arthur retelling mixing the historical and the magical with a very modern eye.
