High Vaultage

HIGH VAULTAGE is a joyous, delightful romp through the streets (and omnibuses and frozen, glacial rivers) of Even Greater London. There is no corner of this book that isn’t richly imagined, beautifully rendered, and filled to the brim with clever jokes – perfect for anyone looking for a Pratchett fix! * Caitlin Schneiderhan *It is everything I hoped it would be (everything the radio show led me to think it would be) and more: a masterly comic writing and a superb piece of worldbuilding, as perfect a piece of neo-Victoriania as I remember since … well, since the actual Victorian epoch, which I remember well. You will laugh, you will cry (with laughter), and most of all you will frantically turn the pages. Unlike Queen Victoria, we are most assuredly amused – Adam Roberts, author of THE THING ITSELF and PURGATORY MOUNTPrepare for an electrifying ride through Even Greater London in this delightfully twisted mash-up of Douglas Adams and Charles Dickens. High Vaultage positively crackles with invention and intrigue and I loved every page. Mark my words: Fleet and Clara are destined to join the waxwork hall of fame for all-time great literary detective duos – Helen Marshall, World Fantasy Award-winning author of GIFTS FOR THE ONE WHO COMES AFTER and THE MIGRATIONWickedly funny, deliriously inventive, delightfully weird. The Sugdens’ Even Greater London is one of the best-realised fantasy playgrounds since Great A’Tuin ambled across the stars with The Discworld on their back – Malcolm Devlin, BSFA-nominated author of YOU WILL GROW INTO THEMIf you put Sherlock Holmes in a blender with Dickens, and then filtered it through a Terry Pratchett filter - the result is a whole lot of fun * Front Row, BBC Radio 4 *If Douglas Adams … were still alive and wanted to get into podcasting, VICTORIOCITY might likely be something he’d have written * Vulture *The sheer inventiveness keeps you sleuthing on * The Financial Times *
