Book SynopsisFROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LOST IN TIME Quantum Physicist Tyson Klein has spent twelve years on the trail of the Theory of Everything. And he might just have found it. Buried in the data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful scientific instrument, he’s found traces of exotic subatomic particles. Not only do the particles seem to have come from outside our universe, they also appear to be carrying a signal. Deciphering this message sent across space and time could give Ty the key to everything – why the universe exists, what humanity’s role within it is. But only if he lives long enough, because someone or something will do anything to prevent Ty from unravelling what is being broadcast by the quantum radio...Trade ReviewOriginal, entertaining, deftly crafted, and inherently fascinating read from first page to last * Midwest Book Review *An author from the much-missed Michael Crichton school of speculative fiction . . . an enjoyable read for someone missing the likes of Jurassic Park * SF Book *Quantum Radio is Invasion Quartet done straight, and Operation Crossbow on steroids. * ParSec Magazine *Fans of conspiracy thrillers will enjoy this . . . fast-paced, speculative tale about physics, secret messages and powerful organisations * Canberra Daily *PRAISE FOR A.G. RIDDLE: "One of the twistiest time-tales I've ever read! An amazing story of love, murder, betrayal, multiple universes, dinosaurs – and just what 'causality' really means" Diana Gabaldon, on Lost in Time. "Are we talking plot twists? More like spirals. Gripping, clever, mind-bending stuff" Daily Mail. "Crichtonesque thrillers don't come much better than this intricate outing which combines a fantastic premise – a time-travel device known as Absolom is used to imprison dangerous criminals in the prehistoric past – with a closed-circle whodunit... Riddle keeps the twists coming, including a mind-bending jaw-dropper that sets up the book's second half. By creating sympathetic and complex characters, the author makes suspending disbelief easy. Readers won't be able to turn the pages fast enough" Publishers Weekly Starred Review, on Lost in Time. "A gorgeously dense and satisfying yarn, a time travel puzzle box whose pieces eventually fit together in a climax that's as exciting as it's determinedly mind-bending. You'll quickly find yourself lost in Lost in Time; a hugely recommended high-concept page-turner" Starburst. "We're talking high-concept thriller here... There are many japes and high jinks ahead" * The Times, on Lost in Time *

Book SynopsisA stunningly original nightmare novel about the impact of a new synthetic drug - Lingo - on the depressed New England factory town of Quinsigamond, where it was secretly developed. Besides offering a potent high, Lingo also delivers a shot to the brain cells governing linguistic comprehension and verbal skill. Until murderous rages and babbling insanity take over, this mind-expanding feature makes the drug dangerously seductive to the unusually literate cops, scientists and dope dealers competing to find its distribution source. Written in the cranked up style of Lingo, Box Nine shows a noir vision of a city that has become a virtual war zone between warring multi-ethnic drug cartels. The narrative shifts from one head case to another but never loses sight of Det. Lenore Thomas, an undercover officer addicted to speed, rough sex, heavy metal and the feel of her .357 Magnum. A dark, disturbing book that speaks with a fine fury about the yearning for forbidden knowledge and the language to articulate the mysteries it unlocks...Trade ReviewSeldom have plot and atmosphere been such awkward bedfellows and provided such a memorable sense of dread -- Maxim Jakubowski * Lovereading *The most electrifying debut crime novel you are likely to read all year * GQ *A high-octane page-turner -- Laura Wilson * Guardian *A surrealistic noir epic that's part David Lynch and part Brett Easton Ellis * Booklist *Enter the world of Lingo, a new synthetic drug that messes with language and messes with your head, just like this book does -- Sam Tyler * The Bookbag *

Book SynopsisGenetic engineer Noah Parker has at last landed the job he's long coveted: director of dragon design for the Build-A-Dragon Company. With a combination of genetic engineering and a cryptic device known as the Redwood Codex, he and his team can produce living, breathing dragons made-to-order. But sales of dragons have plummeted, and the Build-A-Dragon Company will have to find new revenue streams if it hopes to stay in business. A contract to develop dragons for the U.S. military promises a much-needed lifeline. Yet the specs are more challenging than anything Noah has ever designed. Worse, he learns that a shadow company headed by former CEO Robert Greaves has stolen the dragon-making technology to make a competing bid. Noah’s dragons will face off against those of his old adversary. It’s a head-to-head design competition, with the ethical future of domesticated dragons hanging in the balance. About Domesticating Dragons: “Koboldt delivers a funny and immersive look at the world of genetic engineering. . . . With characteristic verve, Koboldt contrasts the playful adventure plot with eerie dystopian setting and a seering examination of corporate greed and ambition. Fans of inventive speculative fiction are sure to be pleased.” —Publishers Weekly About Dan Koboldt: “. . . very readable and highly enjoyable. . . . Characters that are more than the sum of their parts, a world that has so much to offer, and a story that races along apace . . . ” —SFF World on The World Awakening
