A fascinating tale of political intrigue and national unrest
*Washington Post on The Traitor*
A tale of intelligence and wonder, set in a believable, detailed
world that is populated with rich characters. From the first page I
was sucked into a world of captivating intrigue and Machiavellian
politics
*John Gwynne on The Traitor*
Smart. Brutal. Gut-wrenching. You’ll be captivated from the very
first page. Dickinson is a sly, masterful writer who pulls no
punches. Get ready to have your heart ripped out through your
throat. Highly recommended
*Kameron Hurley on The Traitor*
Seth Dickinson skilfully combines intrigue, action and
philosophical musings to create a suspenseful and deeply satisfying
read. An intelligent and accomplished first novel reminiscent of Le
Guin in its reflections on imperialism, colonialism and the
attractions and corruptions of power
