Empire State: A Novel Audiobook

Quotes

• “Adam Christopher’s debut novel is a noir, Philip K. Dick–ish science fiction superhero story…As captivating as a kaleidoscope…just feel it in all its weird glory.”

  — Cory Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author

• “A fascinating debut novel that meshes noir sensibilities and science fiction together and keeps the reader guessing throughout. Adam Christopher handles intricacies of parallel worlds, time travel, and suspense with a skill lacking in many more-seasoned authors.”

  — Mike Stackpole, New York Times bestselling author

• “From the first explosive rat-a-tat-tat of bullets to the very last twist and turn, Empire State surely cannot be a debut novel. The fantastical dreams of Verne and Wells mixed with the noir reality of Spillane or Chandler, this is a book that doesn’t play by the rules—and is all the better for it.”

  — Tony Lee, New York Times bestselling author and Doctor Who comic writer

• “Down these steam-driven streets a man must go…straight into a pocket universe of trouble. Brutal, knowing, and deft, Adam Christopher delivers.”

  — Jon Courtenay Grimwood, BSFA Award–winning author

• “Stylish, sinister, and wickedly fun, Empire State is not your average sexy retro parallel universe superhero noir.”

  — Lauren Beukes, award-winning author of Zoo City

• “A daring, dreamlike, almost hallucinatory thriller, one that plays with the conventions of pulp fiction and superheroes like a cat with a ball of yarn.”

  — Kurt Busiek, Eisner Award–winning writer of Astro City and Marvels

• “Destined to be a science fiction classic, Empire State is a breathtakingly original noir tale of intrigue, mystery, and quantum physics, deftly played out in storytelling so brilliant I’m finding it hard not to hate the author.”

  — Diana Rowland, author of My Life as a White Trash Zombie

• “From first to last page, Adam Christopher’s Empire State careens along at a furious pace. Along the way, he beautifully meshes the best noir tropes with science fiction and wraps it up in a world (or two) that rivals some of the classics of speculative fiction.”

  — John Hornor Jacobs, author of Southern Gods

• “Watch out for this Adam kid, he’s nobody’s sap. He’s got a sharp nib and a sharper wit. He’d steal your last few hours before you could say ‘cat’s pajamas,’ and you’d thank him for it.”

  — Billy Campbell, star of The Rocketeer
