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 Centuryis 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 brilliantly etched phantasmagoric reconfiguring of that most sizzling of eras—the twilight 20th . . . a torrid tour de force.”—James Ellroy, author of L.A. Confidential and Blood’s a Rover“A brilliant novel of ideas.”— B&N Book Blog“Like Watchmen on crack.”—io9“If Nietzche 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“Pack your bags and go home; the superhero genre is now completed . . . if John le Carre wrote a superhero novel about the Cold War, it might be this good.”—Charles Stross, author of Neptune’s Brood: A Space Opera“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. it’s as dramatic and vital as the best comic books and as beautifully written and evocative as any literary novel today. Read it. You’ll see.”— Christopher Farnsworth, author of Blood Oath and Flashmob“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“It’s hard, but not impossible as Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey and others have shown, to create 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“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. Tidhar has created a book that oozes excellence in both characterisation and storytelling.”—The Huffington Post[STARRED REVIEW]"This study in heroism, love, revenge, and violence will be in demand by lovers of complex, intelligent sf and alternative history. Anyone who enjoys stories of people with supernatural abilities will thrive reading Tidhar’s world.”
—Library Journal“A terrifically told tale of heroism and enduring friendship that captures our imaginations from the very first page.”—Booklist“If you love Philip K. Dick, Lavie Tidhar should be your new favorite writer . . . an unforgettable read.”—The Jewish Standard“He’s dealing with the grandest schemes on the largest of backdrops in time and place, and this level of awe-inspiring craft places him firmly within the highest tier of writers working today, no longer an emerging writer, but a master.”—British Fantasy Society“Intense and evocative.”—SFX“Gripping, imaginative and moving.”—Sci Fi Now“The sort of thing Quentin Tarantino did as bloody wish-fulfillment in Inglourious Basterds, multiplied by several orders of magnitude.”—Locus“This is a novel that can break your heart and then, ever so subtly, include a cameo by Stan Lee. Tidhar clearly knows as much about supermen of all kinds as he does about the circumstances that produce them.”—Strange Horizons“The Violent Century is an excellent novel that demonstrates, once again, the impressive versatility of its author.”—Interzone“A masterful example of alternate universe science fiction and can only add to its author’s rapidly growing reputation.”—The Los Angeles Review of Books“An original, engrossing fusion of noir-ish super-heroes and gritty espionage thriller . . . a fantastic novel”—Civilian Reader

Verdict: Tidhar (A Man Lies Dreaming; The Violent Century) changes genres with every outing, but his astounding talents guarantee something new and compelling no matter the story he tells.&#8221;&#151;Library Journal, starred review"A sprawling hymn to the glory and mess of cultural diversity.&#8221;&#151;Guardian&#8221;Quietly enthralling and subtly ingenious.&#8221;&#151;Asimov's Science Fiction&#147;Beautiful, original, a shimmering tapestry of connections and images - I can't think of another SF novel quite like it.

There are good SFF writers. And there is Lavie Tidhar . . . Bold and witty and smoky, [Unholy Land] plays games and coquetries, makes dark dalliances and will leave you dazzled and delighted.”—Ian McDonald, author of Time Was and Luna: Wolf Moon"A genius, dreamlike fantasy for those who slip across might-have-been worlds.”—Saad Z. Hossain, author of Escape from Baghdad! “Unholy Land is a stunning achievement.” —The Speculative Shelf“Lavie Tidhar has given us a mystically charged, morally complex vision of Theodor Herzl’s famous Jewish state that might have been.”—James Morrow, author of The Last Witchfinder and Shambling Towards Hiroshima “Lavie Tidhar’s daring Unholy Land brilliantly showcases one of the foremost science fiction authors of our generation.”  — Silvia Moreno-Garcia, World Fantasy Award-winning editor and author of Certain Dark Things “Unholy Land is probably better than Michael Chabon’s Yiddish Policeman’s Union.”—Bradley Horner, author of the Darkside Earther series
