"Ashby has created an eerily familiar future world and characters who are both sympathetic and horrific. Give to fans of Patricia Highsmith and Naomi Alderman." -- Library Journal Praise for Company Town : "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 "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 "Madeline Ashby bludgeons cyberpunk to death with this post-climate change thriller about life aboard a gas platform, confronting an uncomfortable new future."--Charlie Stross, author of the Laundry Files series "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.
