Foreign Bodies

"Dedman can turn a phrase as neatly as any hard-boiled writer....The subcultural nooks and crannies of the early 21st century are gaudily appalling....Near-future SF, whether in cyberpunk or plain old dystopian modes, has become a reasonable substitute for the traditional hard-boiled thriller, and FOREIGN BODIES suggests that Dedman is one of the writers we might expect to join the likes of Greg Egan, George Foy, William Gibson, Peter F. Hamilton, and Melissa Scott in producing entertainments with the combination of smart extrapolation, satiric edge, noir atmosphere, and tough-guy attitude that bring Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and John D. MacDonald into the new century.Dedman, Stephen is the author of 'Foreign Bodies' with ISBN 9780312872595 and ISBN 0312872593.
