Nicholas Binge

This job will eat you alive... Nicholas Binge's brilliant new novella ABYSS is a creeping Lovecraftian horror about work, technology and existential dread. And it's out now from @torbooksuk and @tordotcompub Happy UK publication day @nickbinge !

Nicholas Binge - Széthullás 👵🏻⏳ Ez a könyv konkrétan egyszerre csinálta ki az agyamat és a szívemet. A story úgy indít, hogy Maggie éveken át nézi végig, ahogy a férje, Stanley lassan elveszíti az emlékeit, majd megjelenik Hassan, és egyetlen információval teljesen kifordítja az egész történetet abból, aminek addig hittük. Innentől ez már nem csak egy emlékezetvesztésről szóló regény, hanem egy elképesztően feszült, rétegzett és érzelmes sci-fi thriller. Spoilermentesen annyit mondok, hogy ebben a könyvben az emlékeknek tényleg súlyuk van. Az egésznek van egy folyamatosan nyugtalanító hangulata, mintha a valóság szélén valami végig el lenne csúszva, és te képtelen lennél nem tovább olvasni, hogy megértsd, mi történik. Maggie szerintem fantasztikus főszereplő. Makacs, szerethető, dühös, bátor és esendő egyszerre, és végig azt érzed, hogy nem hajlandó elengedni azt az embert, akit szeret. Stanley karaktere is nagyon működött nálam, Hassan pedig konkrétan minden jelenetben olyan feszültséget hoz, hogy az ember egyetlen mondatában sem bízik meg teljesen. A történet két nézőpontból és két idősíkból teljesedik ki. Maggie a jelenben próbál segíteni férjének, a múltban pedig Stanley életét ismerhetjük meg. Ez szerintem a könyv egyik legnagyobb ereje. Tele van apró utalásokkal és visszhangokkal, amik később teljesen új értelmet nyernek. Tipikusan az a könyv, ahol nemcsak a nagy fordulatok ütnek, hanem az is, ahogy egy új fejezet hirtelen átírja mindazt, amit korábban gondoltál. És közben hiába ennyire okosan felépített, mégsem válik hideggé. Szerintem kevés könyv tud egyszerre ennyire agyas, érzelmes és addiktív lenni. Nálam ez most tényleg az a kategória, hogy letettem, és az első gondolatom az volt, hogy én ezt egyszer biztosan újra akarom olvasni. Ha szereted azokat az értelmesebb sci-fi-ket, mint az Interstellar, Inception vagy a Hail Mary Küldetés akkor ez is tetszeni fog. Igaz nem az űrben játszódik. 😉 5/5⭐️ #bookstagram #nicholasbinge #széthullás #scifibooks #thrillerbooks

I would love to invite you and be absolutely delighted if you could come to the launch of my next book, Dissolution, at Leith Arches on Thursday 27th March at 7pm until late. This is not your standard book launch. There'll be no warm white wine in a bookshop while you listen to me blather boring things about a book you haven't read yet, or worse, read from it. Expect music, expect interactive art projects, games, creative fun, and group things to get involved in (if you want to). There'll be music, there'll be a bar open all evening. There'll be a whole bunch of people. Perhaps most importantly — the entire event is a fundraiser for Alzheimer's Scotland, who do wonderful work supporting individuals with dementia in its myriad forms across the country, and the families and loved ones affected. The full ticket price (a reasonable £5) will be donated to the charity. We will also be holding a literary raffle on the night, including signed hardbacks and special editions from authors like Mark Lawrence, Sunyi Dean, Kritika Rao, Shauna Lawless, Richard Swan , and also, for the writers, things like agent one-to-ones, mentoring sessions with authors, etc. All proceeds go to charity. You can choose to just buy a ticket, or to buy my book as well at a discount with your entry! All in all, I'd really love to have as many of you show up as humanly possible to make the fundraising side of this as big a smash as I can. It will also, hopefully, just be loads of fun. You can find links tickets on my website under events or on the Argonauts books website.

Very cool to see DISSOLUTION picked by Screen Rant as one of the top ten sci-fi books to look out for in 2025! /science-fiction-books-coming-out-2025-list/ Pre-order wherever it is you buy books!

HAVE YOU PREORDERED IT YET? IF NOT, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

ANOTHER COVER REVEAL? EXTREMITY is a time-traveling, end-of-the-world police procedural, Extremity is True Detective if written by Philip K. Dick. When once-renowned police detective Julia Torgrimsen is brought out of forced retirement to investigate the murder of Bruno Donaldson, a billionaire she worked with whilst undercover, she doesn't expect to find two bodies. Both are Bruno--identical down to the fingerprints--and both have been shot. As the investigation sucks her back into the macabre world of London's rich elite, she finds herself on the hunt for a mysterious assassin who has been taking out the wealthy one by one. But when she finally catches up with her quarry, she unveils an entire world of secrets: impossible documents about future stock market crashes, photographs of dead clones, and a clandestine time-travelling conspiracy so insidious it might just mean the extinction of the entire human race. If Julia is to have any chance of preventing this terrible future, she'll have to revisit her own past, the terrible choices she made undercover, and the brutal act that destroyed her once legendary career.
