New Clone City

A blend of cyberpunk, literary prose and thrilling mystery, it tells the story of a down-at-heel metropolis, poor and sexy like the city it’s rooted in. A melting pot of tribes, technology, poverty, and chaos. New Clone City is a rollicking compulsive read, as queer and captivating as its inhabitants.

This is a slipstream world where a refugee crisis looms, the environment is in chaos, and an authoritarian political movement threatens the very fabric of the city. These dark forces battle a colourful cast of heroes, from anarchist rednecks to gender-bending sex workers.

Mike Hembury’s prose is urgent, sexy and “unprecedented”.  Sharp and poetic, compelling and passionate, the political and environmental themes resonate for these troubling times.  This is a novel to be read today.
