Review
"Enticingly mysterious... akin to the best alternative history fiction... will keep readers fascinated for hours." Publishers Weekly Starred Review
"a brilliantly weird world that's utterly riveting" - Kirkus Reviews "Evocative, descriptive and emotionally resonant" - Skiffy and Fanty "The story of four damaged people whose lives are inextricably linked, The Race is a novel of tender nuances, brutality, insight and great ambition." - Tor.com "The Race" is an ingenious puzzle-box of a narrative that works both as a haunting family saga and as a vivid picture of a future worth avoiding." - Chicago Tribune "A unique and fascinating near-future ecological SF novel. Buy it!" Jeff Vandermeer, author of the Annihilation trilogy "Totally assured - this is a literate, intelligent, gorgeously human and superbly strange SF novel that will continually skewer your assumptions." - ALASTAIR REYNOLDS "Nina Allan's debut is weird in all the right ways" - Barnes & Noble "confidently and wonderfully written" - Adventures in Poor Taste "An unconventional, arresting meditation on memory, imagination, and the ways we attempt to cope with the trauma in our lives." - Barnes & Noble "I can say with hand on heart, please read this. It's got more beauty in it than anything else you'll pick up this year." - Project Fandom "A delightful puzzle" - Impedimenta Mag "A text so very revelatory that I'll read anything its author has a hand in from here on out" - Tor.comAbout the Author
