Seesaw Monster

Fascinating and thought provoking with some genuine surprises and incredibly clever ideas that kept me thinking about it long after I finished it… a Japanese Black Mirror! – Ajay Chowdhury, author of THE WAITER
Isaka’s exceptional latest combines the author’s flair for violent comic farce with an unsettling look at the near future. Isaka’s talent for kinetic, hilarious carnage is on full display, and it’s fortified with philosophical depth and surprisingly potent ruminations on the nature of fate. This ranks among the author’s best * Publishers Weekly *
Thoroughly enjoyable * Guardian, on BULLET TRAIN *
Unlike anything you’re likely to have read before…white-hot with double-crosses * Financial Times, on BULLET TRAIN *
Entertaining…high-speed…with lots of twists and turns…it has a Tarantino-meets-the-Coen-Brothers feel to it * The Times, on BULLET TRAIN *
An offbeat but touching thriller, with a wonderful final twist * Mail on Sunday, on THE MANTIS *
