Alpha Omega

“By the final chapter each thread has been skillyfully unravelled… Nicholas Bowling is a thrilling writer who keeps the reader permanently on edge.” Telegraph“Inventive, playful bonkers writing… and an explosive finale that ties up all the story’s threads with a beautiful, pitch-black bow.” SFX Magazine“A relentlessly entertaining ride – memorably oddball characters, spot-on satire and smart, deadpan humour. I read it in a flurry.” Tim Major, author of Snakeskins “Too-close-for-comfort dystopia… A frightening picture of a repressive near-future, but it’s the glints of humanity and humour in its telling that set it apart.” Louis Greenburg, author of Green Valley “Wonderfully twisty and atmospheric… One not to miss.” The Bookseller“The author is one to watch.” Historical Novel Association
