Description
If Spartacus was a girl
This debut novel from Stevie O'Connor is a beautifully written literary addition to sci-fi cult classics, such as those by Ray Bradbury and Philip.K.Dick, which gives us a frightening, visceral glimpse into the life of splendid isolationist, Maja Larsen.
In A Mirror City is a chilling, dystopian sci-fi noir about a girl who is trapped in a world that was broken long before she was born. Maja is caught up in this fast-paced conspiracy, aided and abetted by a ragged guard of criminals and thieves and hounded by authorities, that seem to know more about Maja than she does herself.
"An absorbing read that quickly intrigues the reader. What is this world we find ourselves in? The reader is left to guess at the full back story until near the end, which I found satisfying as I tried to piece the clues together (I guessed it, kinda not really almost). The main character Maja is a sassy cage fighting ninja mind control freak. I was left wanting more of her back story too, which is a good thing. Will look for the sequel."

"Highly evocative and exciting"

"It reads almost like a literary scholar's science fiction"

"Once you start you won't put the book down till the end."
Brian Brown, Amazon.co.uk
"A brilliant and gripping ride from beginning to end. Highly recommended!"
