A Perfect Machine

"A destabilizing gutshot of science fiction, crime, and existentialism that will leave your head spinning well beyond the final pages of Henry Kyllo's apotheosis. Savory truly delivers an inventive, disturbing, and unforgettable thrill ride."
- Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Little Sleep

"Brett Savory writes like every tap of his keyboard is an assault on the system, and who are we to say he's wrong? With horror in his heart, anarchy in his soul, and a keen and wary sense of what the future holds, Brett Savory is the kind of writer the world needs more of."
- Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Tin Men and Snowblind

"A Kafkaesque gem of a novel, Savory's A Perfect Machine is deeply allegorical science fiction cloaked in the guise of an existential horror story featuring a monster robot--the illegitimate lovechild of David Cronenberg and Isaac Asimov."
- Paul Goat Allen

"A Perfect Machine hits the ground running--literally--and never lets up, turbocharged by some wild recombinant DNA. If you've ever wondered what would happen if H.R. Giger swallowed the soul of a gonzo crime writer and penned Fight Club after a week-long binge huffing gun oil and fumes from Tetsuo: The Iron Man, then you are so in luck."
- Brian Hodge, author of Picking the Bones and Whom the Gods Would Destroy

"With prose as sharp and hard as a Monday morning, Savory pulls you along, page by flippin' page, into a world much stranger, much more exotic than it was a moment before. A cool practitioner of the rapid read and the bizarre speculation."
- Tony Burgess, author of Pontypool Changes Everything and People Live Still in Cashtown Corners

"A Perfect Machine is like stepping out of a plane with a blindfold on and finding yourself in a bobsled tube that slithers and loops you down into a sensory deprivation tank where you didn't think to take one last breath first, but it's pretty down here, isn't it? Either that or all the blood vessels in your eyes just burst."
- Stephen Graham Jones, author of Mongrels

"A wild and exuberant concoction of horror, science-fiction and crime thriller, Brett Savory's A Perfect Machine hurtles along like a runaway train, picking up speed, belching smoke and shooting out sparks before erupting into an explosive, mind-shattering finale. Terrific stuff!"
- Mark Morris, author of the Obsidian Heart series and Wrapped in Skin

"A vivid, violent, and propulsive novel that grabs you by the throat and breathlessly yanks you along at frankly unsafe speeds."
- B&N SF & F Blog

"Savory deserves to make a great impression on both our highly mutable genre and the reading public."
- Peter Straub, multi award-winning author of Ghost Story and The Talisman

"Imagine that the god-like aliens from 2001 paid a visit to Dark City--except instead of uplifting us to sapience, they got their shits and giggles by pulling off our arms and legs and forcing us to kill each other. Welcome to A Perfect Machine."
- Peter Watts, author of Blindsight and Echopraxia
