"vN did not disappoint. It is&#160;a fantastic adventure story that carries a sly&#160;philosophical payload about power and privilege, gender and race. It&#160;is often profound, and it is never boring." &ndash; Cory Doctorow&ldquo;If you have been missing the kind of thought-provoking-yet-exciting stories about artificial creatures that only come along once in a while, vN is well worth grabbing. It's disturbing and sometimes upsetting &mdash; but the ending is a giant insane weird thrill that makes the whole thing pay off.&rdquo; &ndash; Charlie Jane Andres for io9.com"Picks up where Blade Runner left off and maps territories Ridley Scott barely even glimpsed. &#160;(Philip K Dick would have been at home here, but Ashby's prose is better.) vN might just be the most piercing interrogation of humanoid AI since Asimov kicked it all off with the Three Laws." &ndash; Peter Watts, author of Blindsight"VN fuses cyberpunk with urban fantasy to produce something wholly new. &#160;Thre's a heavy kicker in every chapter. &#160;Zombie robots, vampire robots, robots as strange and gnarly as human beings. &#160;A page-turning treat."&ndash; Rudy Rucker, author of the WARE TETRALOGY"Ashby's debut novel is brimming with ideas..." -SFX Magazine&ldquo;vN&#160;is a thrilling adventure story with a well-developed cast of both humans and vNs, which challenges the meaning of being a person without ever being preachy about it.&rdquo;&ndash; Steve Jones, Terror Tree

Praise for&nbsp;THE NAZI HUNTERS "Nagorski is a veteran author and foreign correspondent whose&nbsp;Hitlerland: American Eyewitnesses to the Nazi Rise to Power&nbsp;is the alpha to the omega of&nbsp;The Nazi Hunters. . . . [a] deep and sweeping account of a relentless search for justice that began in 1945 and is only now coming to an end.&rdquo; (The Washington Post)  &ldquo;Vivid, reader-friendly . . . Mr. Nagorski&rsquo;s fine book is comprehensively informative and a highly involving read.&rdquo; (Wall Street Journal)  &ldquo;A thrilling nonfiction account of postwar justice. . . . Detailed, dramatic, and at times gripping.&rdquo; (Salon)  &ldquo;An epic tale . . . the book&#39;s main actors are painted with a complex but unsparing clarity." (Christian Science Monitor)  "A reminder of the fact that the Nazi trials of the last 70 years were never a foregone conclusion." (TIME)  &nbsp;&ldquo;A history that reads like an adventure story." (Florida Times Union)  &ldquo;Far more intriguing than any Hollywood production. The proofs highlight every page of Andrew Nagorski&rsquo;s&nbsp;The Nazi Hunters, a new study of the evildoers and how they were pursued.&nbsp;. . . [Nagorski] has a discerning eye and a gift for the revealing anecdote.&rdquo; (City Journal)  The Nazi hunters, like their prey, are passing away. As Nagorski points out, that &ldquo;is why their stories can and should be told now.&rdquo; His book captures their work in vivid and detailed prose. For journalists, it provides the added enjoyment of reading about other people&rsquo;s investigative tricks and tools.&nbsp;The Nazi Hunters&nbsp;stands as both a tribute to, and a record, of a unique handful of people who devoted their lives to justice. (Overseas Press Club)  "A&nbsp;comprehensive treatment of the dogged men and women whose heroic efforts restored a measure of justice to millions of murdered souls." (The Weekly Standard)  &ldquo;The author provides fascinating insight into those who continued to pursue war criminals after the spotlight had faded.&rdquo; (Library Journal)  &ldquo;In a world that is, alas, awash in crimes against humanity, we have an urgent need to address these complex and controversial questions." (Jerusalem Post)  &ldquo;An extremely valuable, highly readable book.&rdquo; (Arizona Jewish Post)  &ldquo;Andrew Nagorski&rsquo;s&nbsp;The Nazi Hunters&nbsp;comes at a significant point, at the juncture between living memory and the historical record&hellip; His account is highly objective and balanced&hellip; It&rsquo;s a narrative that will hold you, even if you&rsquo;ve followed this story over the decades.&rdquo; (The Dallas Morning News)  &ldquo;A detailed look at the grim work of tracking Nazis over the decades since World War II. . . . absorbing.&rdquo; (Kirkus Reviews)  &ldquo;An admirably accessible and intimate narrative. . . . [Nagorski] reveals the differences in tactics, politics and personalities that have led to feuds among the Nazi hunters themselves. . . . for all their rivalries and failings, the Nazi hunters are saluted by Nagorski for their accomplishments: not just in helping to prosecute the most egregious of the perpetrators, but also in etching the details of Nazi crimes &mdash; beyond doubt or dispute &mdash; in the historical record.&rdquo; (The Forward)  &ldquo;Andrew Nagorski has produced an important work&mdash;a well-written and revealing book about the darkest acts of World War II.&rdquo; (Alan Furst, author of Spies of Warsaw and Kingdom of Shadows )  &ldquo;The world failed the victims not only during the Holocaust but afterwards, as perpetrators were allowed to go on with their lives. A few determined Nazi hunters tried to bring justice. This is their story. It must be read.&rdquo; (Alan Dershowitz, author of Abraham: The World&#39;s First (but certainly not last) Jewish Lawyer )  &ldquo;Andrew Nagorski spins a gripping, historically urgent narrative in&nbsp;The Nazi Hunters. He demonstrates that how we deal with the most evil perpetrators among us, is as much about who we are as it is about the criminals.&nbsp;The Nazi Hunters&nbsp;is really about the present: are we willing to do the consuming and often thankless work of holding criminals from the Balkans to the Middle East and Africa accountable for unspeakable acts? This could not be a more timely reminder of the world&#39;s moral responsibility toward perpetrators of war crimes.&rdquo; (Kati Marton, author of The Great Escape and Enemies of the People )  &ldquo;A fascinating collective portrait of a variety of Nazi hunters. Some, Simon Wiesenthal and the Klarsfelds, are well known. But the most fascinating aspect of the book is Nagorski&rsquo;s portrayal of less well-known figures: the Polish judge Jan Sehn, who first investigated the Nazi death camps; the German prosecutor, Fritz Bauer, who instigated both the capture of Eichmann and the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial; and William Denson, who convicted hundreds of the most notorious concentration camp guards.&rdquo; (Christopher Browning, author of Ordinary Men and The Origins of the Final Solution )  &ldquo;A war continued after World War II to bring its mass murderers to justice. Andrew Nagorski tells the story of the dogged search by some for the killers as well as the accommodations made by others to let this sordid chapter of history remain buried. Meticulously researched, superbly written,&nbsp;The Nazi Hunters&nbsp;is fascinating&mdash;disturbing, to be sure&mdash;but fascinating.&rdquo; (Douglas Waller, author of Disciples and Wild Bill Donovan )  &ldquo;Andrew Nagorski, author of the mesmerizing&nbsp;Hitlerland, has made a definitive and invaluable contribution to the historical record with his outstanding successor work,&nbsp;The Nazi Hunters. Integrating the diffuse strands of a great decades long drama before a vanishing window of history has closed, the author has crafted the fascinating and emotionally galvanizing narrative of the hunt for notorious Nazi fugitives ranging from Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele to the SS officers and concentration camp commandants who fled from the ashes of Germany&#39;s defeat in World War II. Not only an investigative and intelligence page-turner,&nbsp;The Nazi Hunters&nbsp;tells the story of an epic and global quest for justice rather than revenge.&rdquo; (Gordon M. Goldstein, adjunct Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations and author of Lessons In Disaster: McGeorge Bundy and the Path to War in Vietnam )  &ldquo;The last former Nazis are dying out, and so, too, are those whose life&rsquo;s work was to hunt them down. Nagorski tells their stories evenhandedly, uncovering a fascinating cast of characters from all over the world and placing their efforts in a broader perspective.&rdquo; (Foreign Affairs)  "The Nazi Hunters&nbsp;is, variously, horrifying, informative, exciting and enlightening, but it must be read in small doses for there is so much in it to grasp." (Providence Journal) Praise for HITLERLAND  &ldquo;Andrew Nagorski has written an entertaining chronicle . . .&nbsp;Hitlerland&nbsp;brings back to life some early delusions about Hitler&rsquo;s rise that now seem unthinkable. Any reader trying to puzzle out today&rsquo;s world will be unsettled by the reminder of how easy it is to get things wrong.&rdquo; (The Economist)  &emsp;&ldquo;Riveting . . . this is a book that is full of things I never knew, and I found all of them interesting. It should be on everybody&rsquo;s &lsquo;must read&rsquo; list who is interested in history.&rdquo; (Michael Korda The Daily Beast)  &ldquo;Hitlerland&nbsp;is a bit of guilty pleasure . . . fascinating.&rdquo; (Washington Post)  &ldquo;Compulsively readable and deeply researched.&rdquo; (The Weekly Standard)  &ldquo;Andrew Nagorski, a deft storyteller, has plumbed the dispatches, diaries, letters, and interviews of American journalists, diplomats and others who were present in Berlin to write a fascinating account of a fateful era.&rdquo; (Henry Kissinger )  &ldquo;Andrew Nagorski once again turns his perceptive, seasoned foreign correspondent&rsquo;s eye to a dramatic historical subject. This eye&mdash;opening account of the Americans in 1920s and 1930s Berlin offers a totally new perspective on a subject we thought we already knew.&rdquo; (Anne Applebaum, author of Gulag: A History )  &ldquo;Andrew Nagorski&rsquo;s&nbsp;Hitlerland&nbsp;is a fresh, compelling portrait of Nazi Germany, as seen through the eyes of a fascinating array of Americans who lived and worked there during Hitler&rsquo;s rise to power. The extraordinary saga of Putzi Hanfstaengl, a Harvard graduate who became Hitler&rsquo;s court jester, is just one of the many page turning stories that makes&nbsp;Hitlerland&nbsp;a book not to be missed.&rdquo; (Lynne Olson, author of Citizens of London )  &ldquo;The rise of Hitler and the Nazi state, one of the most consequential and profound narratives in all of world politics, receives compelling new treatment in Andrew Nagorski&rsquo;s outstanding&nbsp;Hitlerland. By illuminating the disparate experiences of the era&rsquo;s preeminent American diplomats, journalists, intellectuals and others, Nagorski has created an engrossing, harrowing and vividly drawn mosaic of eyewitness accounts to one of history&rsquo;s most phenomenal catastrophes.&rdquo; (Gordon M. Goldstein, adjunct Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations and author of Lessons In Disaster: McGeorge Bundy and the Path to War in Vietnam )  &ldquo;At times deliciously gossipy, at times thoroughly chilling,&nbsp;Hitlerland&nbsp;offers countless novel insights into Germany&rsquo;s evolution from struggling democracy in the 1920s to totalitarian dictatorship in the 1930s. The intimate portraits from Hitler down add an almost tangible sense of the foibles, ambitions, insecurities and perversities of the relatively small top Nazi elite whose actions plunged our world into a catastrophe from which we are yet fully to recover. The Americans themselves come alive as a group of intense, enterprising journalists and diplomats faced with the greatest challenge of their lives.&rdquo; (Misha Glenny, author of The Balkans 1804&mdash;1999 )  &ldquo;Engaging if chilling. . . . A broader look at Americans who had a ringside seat to Hitler&rsquo;s rise. It&rsquo;s a fascinating cast . . . a fast&mdash;paced tale.&rdquo; (USA Today) &nbsp;
