Description:

“A fascinating merging of oppressive imperialism and disconcerting alienation.”—Adrian Tchaikovsky, award-winning author of Children of Time, Alien Clay & Shards of Earth

SPFBO X 2nd place. Shortlisted for the British Fantasy Award for Best Newcomer. Winner of the FanFiAddict Award for Best Indie Debut, the Literary Titan Gold Book Award, and the Next Generation Indie Book Award.

Blade Runner, True Detective, and District 9 meld with the weird worlds of Jeff VanderMeer, Philip K. Dick, and China Miéville in Adrian M. Gibson’s award-winning fungalpunk noir debut, now with a foreword from acclaimed author Nicholas Eames and six pieces of original interior artwork.

Two years after a devastating defeat in the decade-long Spore War, the island nation of H?ppon and its capital city of Neo Kinoko are occupied by invading Coprinian forces. Its fungal citizens are in dire straits, wracked by food shortages, poverty, and an influx of war refugees. Even worse, the corrupt occupiers exploit their power, hounding the native population.

As a winter storm looms over the metropolis, NKPD homicide detective Henrietta Hofmann begrudgingly partners up with mushroom-headed patrol officer Koji Nameko to investigate the mysterious murders of fungal and half-breed children. Their investigation drags them deep into the seedy underbelly of a war-torn city, one brimming with colonizers, criminal gangs, racial division, and moral decay.

In order to solve the case and unravel the truth, Hofmann must challenge her past and embrace fungal ways. What she and Nameko uncover in the midst of this frigid wasteland will chill them to the core, but will they make it through the storm alive?

“I enjoyed Mushroom Blues a lot, and the sense of place and culture and the strangeness of the fungi are all very well done. Go read this book.”—Mark Lawrence, bestselling author of Prince of Thorns, Red Sister & The Book That Wouldn't Burn

“This is like nothing I’ve read before. Its premise is cool, creepy, and incredibly unique, bolstered by prose as savvy and knife-sharp as the detectives of the NKPD.”—Nicholas Eames, award-winning author of Kings of the Wyld & Bloody Rose

“This is more than a full-throttle, mushroom-and-blood-drenched adventure. At its heart, Gibson's story is one of acceptance: of hard truths, of others, and, perhaps most critically, of oneself.”—M. J. Kuhn, internationally bestselling author of Among Thieves & Thick as Thieves

“Dark, dank, and deeply fungal. Gibson tackles the hard topics of xenophobia, oppression, and heinous crimes against society’s most vulnerable with unflinching prose.”—Julia Vee, co-author of Ebony Gate & Blood Jade

“Mushroom Blues is a brilliant debut that encapsulates all I love about the noir mystery genre.”—R.R. Virdi, bestselling author of The First Binding & The Doors of Midnight

“The imagination on display in Mushroom Blues is immense. Prepare to enter a fantasy world unlike anything you've ever seen, one that surprises, delights, and grosses the fuck out.”—Moses Ose Utomi, award-winning author of The Lies of the Ajungo & The Truth of the Aleke

Description:

Embark on a cosmic mystery spanning all of spacetime and beyond and delve into the nature of the cosmos, time travel, quantum physics, religion, deep time, transhumanism, metaphysics, and more. --------Amero wakes from an eerily familiar dream in an unfamiliar bed.Within hours, he is forced onto an experimental craft and jettisoned across the galaxy alongside a mysterious, potentially homicidal man named Hann. Finding themselves in a strange yet familiar spacetime, the men are told by suspicious entities to hunt for Points, strange objects no larger than one's thumb, which are spread across the cosmos by unknown means. The purpose of the hunt is unknown. The purpose of the Points is unknown. All Amero wants is to return to his dead-end life. All Hann wants is to hunt down and destroy those responsible for his predicament. It will take a journey to the end of time itself and beyond the boundaries of every universe to know the truth--to witness the light behind the veil...for better or worse.--------"E.S. Fein is raising the bar for quality as it's a very well-written and thought-provoking book...There are points and themes in the story that could be discussed for eons as people will have their own idea on where it leads. It's a book I would highly recommend." - Andy Whitaker, SFCrowsnest"Point of Origin was my first space opera read and my mind is blown. The story was full of the big existential questions; Who are we? Why are we here? What is love, trust, joy? The storyline addressed many important issue of religion, philosophy and societal roles. This is not a light read by any means but it certainly kept me wanting to resolve the internal and external conflicts posed from the beginning all the way to the end. If you're looking for a story to wrap your whole brain around, this is it."- D.M. Taylor, Author of The Reckoning"ES Fein has written a space opera adventure that weaves traditional science fiction, Eastern Philosophy, questions about who we really are, God and the cosmos in a very enjoyable way." - Amazon Review"The main character is an escapist self abusing homosexual that goes against about everything I believe in (except for freedom of sexual/self expression). I was uncomfortable enough to realize how good the writing and maybe the story was. Fein showed me a perspective that far differed from my own. The first half of the story was gut wrenching in many ways and very dark but I kept reading in an attempt to understand. The fact that the story caused me to experience the darkness as a witness showed me how good the writing was. The imagination and ability to stretch my imagination proved to make great storytelling. Make no mistake, this is not a feel good story but one that will make me think about it for a time to come." - Amazon Review"I would call this a more intellectual read. You don't need to be a physicist to understand it, but I did find myself going back to re-read explanations a few times over to make sure I was following along. For point of reference, I have never taken a physics class. Fein has a beautiful use of language and descriptions throughout the novel and you get a true sense of why the characters are the way they are. This novel is in true dystopian form as well. The New Covenant are brutal and there are descriptions of violence against a number of characters that may be triggering for some." - Amazon Review--------For fans of Arthur C. Clarke, Samuel R. Delany, Greg Bear, Becky Chambers, Frank Herbert, Interstellar, Arrival, Sphere, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Contact, Diaspora, The Forever War, Eon, Rendezvous with Rama and other philosophical works of cosmic and metaphysical exploration.
