A brilliant, inventive writer. The Times
The IACS agency works the interzone between cyber and physical espionage. Case and Kat are top operatives: ex-special forces technologists and seasoned martial artists - he in hardcore karate, she in MMA - equally adept at coding and physical action.
In a Paris dojo, a Russian operator targets Case, while an ally begs for help... but what are their real agendas? And when the real threat arises, can anyone save thousands of innocent lives? From award-winning author John Meaney comes another mission for Case and Kat, drawing on Meaney's own lifelong experience of hardcore martial arts and leading-edge computing, including the world of cyber security. The Case and Kat books can be read in any order. PRAISE FOR JOHN MEANEYA spectacular writer. He makes SF seem all fresh and new again. Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author
Cumberland leaps off the page, a trained killer whose anger and grief at his daughter's condition is brilliantly portrayed; the depiction of his simmering rage, barely held in check, and how he channels it, provides a masterclass in characterisation. The Guardian, reviewing Edge (Josh Cumberland book 1)
What starts off as a simple missing persons enquiry develops into a full-blown coup against a fascist state... Set in a Britain extrapolated from today's violent streets, yet still highly recognisable, Edge is the first in what will hopefully be a long running series. Total Sci-Fi, reviewing Edge (Josh Cumberland book 1)
Within five pages...I was completely hooked... the perfect blend of action and science fiction... I can only hope that there will be more. The Eloquent Page, reviewing Point (Josh Cumberland book 2)
I absolutely don't want to live in the world [Meaney] has created. I didn't want to in Edge (the first book in the series) and I most certainly don't want to now. I do, however, want to read about it. It's relentless and gripping, with a brilliant balance between the personal and the political. BiblioBuffet, reviewing Point (Josh Cumberland book 2)
Absorption is the best hard science fiction I've read this year, well written, exciting, mysterious, full of interesting characters and ideas... The Times, reviewing Absorption (Ragnarok book 1)
...the world building is phenomenal and the pace as chapters switch from time zones is just right, keeping the tension levels up. The female characters are particularly strong and literally jump off the page, particularly the WWII code breaker Gavriela. The novel is also steeped in historical accuracy and authenticity. Terror-Tree.co.uk, reviewing Transmission (Ragnarok book 2)
Resonance is a book driven by big ambitions. Meaney has penned a story that aims to be epic beyond even the level of Dune or similarly famed series. Furthermore, the amount of research that has gone into the book adds a surprising degree of credibility... Starburst Magazine, reviewing Resonance (Ragnarok book 3)
Meaney's creepy death-haunted world lingers in the mind long after the book is closed... a smart and spooky read. The Times, reviewing Bone Song (Donal Riordan book 1)
