Dez is different from the other fleshers struggling to survive in the outskirts of Newport. She’s a living quantum computer, the missing link between human and artificial intelligence.
If Newport City OpSec knew about her abilities, she’d be dead meat. And when she accidentally kills a cop during a routine raid, everything begins to unravel.
From award winning writers Alison Croggon and Daniel Keene comes Newport City, a duology of resistance, rebellion and love in a future not so far from our own.”The coolest science fiction I’ve read in years – if cyberpunk dystopian SF is your jam, I highly recommend this amazing book.” – Ellie Marney“A vividly imagined post-collapse story, anchored by a sharp understanding of the ways imperfect people confront an oppressive government.” – Kate Elliott“A book that draws readers through an action-packed, multi-layered narrative and will leave them with the desire to learn more about the complex and unusual characters.” – Books+PublishingWhat readers are saying about Fleshers:“Quantum perfection.” 5 stars“Gritty, fast-paced, intelligent dystopian sci-fi.
