Praise for The Violent Century

“The Violent Century is a very sophisticated blend of fantasy and real life. Of flawed superheroes engaging with key events in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Lavie Tidhar is a veteran of seamlessly weaving an intriguing blend of fiction into world changing historical events.”
 —Strange Alliances

“The Violent Century is a wonderfully constructed, crafted work that bears a great emotional weight even as it raises more intellectual questions. It’s the kind of work that lingers in the mind long after the reading.”
 —Fantasy Literature

“A brilliant novel of ideas.”
—B&N book blog

“A brilliantly etched phantasmagoric reconfiguring of that most sizzling of eras—the twilight 20th.”
 —James Ellroy, author of L.A. Confidential and Blood’s a Rover

“The Violent Century is a brilliant story of superheroes and spies and secret histories. It stands with Alan Moore’s Watchmen as an examination of the myths that we made in the 20th Century and the ways they still haunt us now.”
 —Christopher Farnsworth, author of Blood Oath

“The Violent Century is admirably plotted and well paced, with an atmosphere of menace throughout, I’m puzzled as to why this wasn’t on any award shortlist for its year.”
—Jack Deighton, author of A Son of the Rock

“Like Watchmen on crack.”
 —io9

“If Nietzsche had written an X-Men storyline whilst high on mescaline, it might have read something like The Violent Century.”
 —Adam Roberts, author of Jack Glass

"An alternative history tour-de-force. Epic, intense and authentic. Lavie Tidhar reboots the 20th century with spies and superheroes battling for mastery—and the results are electric.”
 —Tom Harper, author of The Lost Temple

“A stunning masterpiece”
 —The Independent

“Tidhar synthesises the geeky and the political in a vision of world events that breaks new superhero ground.”
 —The Guardian

“A morally complex, artistically ambitious story based on characters whose origins are not that far removed from the simplicity of Superman, Spiderman, and their ilk. Tidhar has succeeded brilliantly in this task.”
 —LA Review of Books

“A sophisticated, moving and gripping take on 20th century conflicts and our capacity for love and hate, honour and betrayal.”
 —The Daily Mail

“It’s the X-Men as written by John le Carré . . . A love story and meditation on heroism, this is an elegiac espionage adventure that demands a second reading.”
 —Metro

“Could keep anyone, regardless of the types of stories they regularly enjoy, interested and engaged.”
 —The Huffington Post

“A new masterpiece . . . a tremendous, unforgettable read.”
 —Library Journal, starred review

“If you love Philip K. Dick, Lavie Tidhar should be your new favorite writer . . . an unforgettable read.”
 —The Jewish Standard

“The sort of thing Quentin Tarantino did as bloody wish-fulfillment in Inglourious Basterds, multiplied by several orders of magnitude.”
 —Locus

“An original, engrossing fusion of noirish super-heroes and gritty espionage thriller . . . a fantastic novel”
 —Civilian Reader

“Tidhar has the chance to become this generation’s Ursula LeGuin, an author who is equally capable of engaging readers on a surfeit of levels, as socially conscious as he is literary, and as reckless as he is in control. The Violent Century is unquestionably one of the finest novels of 2013. Lavie Tidhar is no longer a rising star in the genre, but one burning bright.”
—Staffer’s Book Review
