Damage Time

"If Charles Dickens had written a futuristic SF thriller, this would be it. Colin Harvey has outdone himself with creating memorable characters, a page-turning plot, and a world that is far from and somehow like our own." - Christopher Barzak, author of "One for Sorrow," and "The Love We Share Without Knowing"
""Damage Time" is for science fiction readers who love "Homicide" or "The Wire," a gritty cop drama set in a future New York on the verge of collapse. Peter Shah is a memorable hero and the memory rip technology will make your skin crawl." - C.C. Finlay, author of "The Patriot Witch" and "The Demon Redcoat
"" The strength of the novel lies not only in the depiction of a detailed future of hardship and privation, but in the expert characterisation of Shah: a lone figure whose origins leave him open to prejudice within the police department, and whose problematic relationship with an intersexual courtesan reveals his own deep-seated prejudices.""" --"The Guardian
