Description

“I WAS MEANT TO COME TO BARLEWIN. BUT I WAS NEVER MEANT TO STAY.” 

The half-forgotten streets of Barlewin, in the shadow of the High Track, are a good place to hide: among the aliens and couriers, the robots and the doubles, where everyone has secrets. 

Like Eva, a 3D-printed copy of another woman, built to be disposable. She should have disintegrated days ago...and she hasn't.

And now her creator wants her back...

A prescient science fiction vision of humanity and identity in a trans-human world, DJ Daniels's Green Jay & Crow presents a powerful tale of humanity, identity and the hope that drives us all.

Three points I liked about Green Jay and Crow...

A bold new voice in science fiction I will gladly visit again...

Creative prose that’s as colorful and eye-catching as the book’s cover...

Originality on par with the likes of Philip K. Dick.

I’m glad I had the chance to read this and recommend it gladly.

Green Jay and Crow
By DJ Daniels
Expected pub.date 12-11-2018
Abaddon Books, UK

Eva "Green Jay" is a body double. A 3-D print made of disposable plant matter, designed to disintegrate quickly. She should have disintegrated weeks ago, but has stayed alive by hiding with The Chemical Conjurers, twins she refers to as Felix and Oscar who are into making music and chemicals. Eva is also helped by the Tenties, a group of guard like creatures that hover in space.
Eva needs to find the TimeLocked Box, a box locked by time and owned by a local crime lord, Guerra. Eve only trusts Mac "BlueJay" but he cant save her. Only crow can save her, but will he? He works for Guerra making deliveries, after all.
One of the strangest and most original time travel books I'
ve read. Alternative worlds and travelling between different alternative realities.....organic vs. electronic.....real vs. body double.....i really enjoyed this story of diverse characters and worlds.
