Cherkas, Michael

A demanding historical narrative with a profound, ever-relevant vision of the human capacity for both cruelty and cultural persistence.

Following up their previous two volumes in the series (Red Shadows and The Great Fear), Cherkas and Hancock continue their exploration of Cold War–era sf paranoia with just the right amount of rich film noir sensibility combined with a striking artistic grafting of midcentury modern cartooning with expressively sinewy line work. Recommended for collections with the earlier books in the series.
