Description

It's the twilight of the twenty-first century, and perpetual failure Connie Lam is barely scraping by as a low-level Contractor on a distant asteroid station called Freeport, a retrofuturistic cosmopolis known for its glitzy nightlife and glamorous wealth. But behind the fizzy cocktails and shiny gold veneer, a revolution is brewing. Trapped between two worlds, Connie must find new ways to stay afloat financially, and concoct new schemes to avoid deportation. But when her former business partner is found dead, coin becomes the least of her concerns. Now she's hustling to save her life.

Critical Reviews

"Club Contango is an increasingly rare thing: science fiction with both a brain and a heart. With this worthy follow-up to last year's Other Minds, Boey shows that she's one to watch." -Edward Ashton, author of Mickey7

"Eliane Boey is set to immerse readers in a world full of intensity, yearning, and moody beauty, and the human spirit finding its way despite the all-consuming grind of hypercapitalism. Club Contango will make you hear faraway music and see the glimmer of distant neon." -Samit Basu, author of The City Inside

"With fully-realized worldbuilding and kinetic prose, Club Contango is a dazzling cyberpunk tale that will grab you by the heart and won't let go. Full of twists, thrills, and the coolest characters I've read in a long time, this is an assured debut from Boey, and you can bet I'll be reading anything she comes out with next." -Victor Manibo, author of Escape Velocity

"Heartfelt characters, imaginative worldbuilding, and a unique yet eerily plausible vision of the future." -Lincoln Michel, author of The Body Scout

"A crackling, nostalgic cyber-noir, brimming with voice and atmosphere. A future lost in time for a generation still looking for a home." -Aubrey Wood, author of Bang Bang Bodhisattva
