Report

Reviews of THE VAGRANT:
_____ 'For fans of classic science-fiction literature, this is a must-read.' - SciFi Now
____ 'Come visit this brilliantly imaginative land of winged swords and broken solar cells.' - SFX
'The Vagrant is a joy to read: an original and engrossing world, a strong story and a protagonist who is intensely charismatic despite - or because of - his silence. Newman's debut is written with confidence, flair and imagination, bringing his dark world to marvellously macabre life'
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Author of Shadows of the Apt series
'A stunning and ambitious debut novel set in a unique and imaginative world where the only hope rests on the capacity of human beings to love' Melinda M. Snodgrass
