The Hugo-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky is something of a favourite at SFX Towers. His latest novel, Green City Wars, is set in a future where humans live in solar-powered cities, served by bioengineered animals known as “Little Helpers”.
Said creatures have developed a rich society of their own, though. So it is that the book’s protagonist is Skotch, a private eye who just happens to be a raccoon. After getting a commission to locate a mouse doctor from a mobster turtle, his life becomes complicated and dangerous... SFX’s reviewer summed it up as “a novel that’s fast-moving, never takes itself too seriously, and delights in sly gags”.
