Kroese gifts readers with his gripping second mystery set in 2039 Los Angeles (after 2016's The Big Sheep), another sophisticated blend of science fiction and crime.... The plot twists are both logical and surprising, with developments and motivations straight out of classic L.A. noir. Every part of the book simply works. The compelling story, memorable leads, and imaginative worldbuilding suggest the series has a long and promising future. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Last Iota As original a plot as I've run across in a long time. The Big Sheep is a sheer delight! --Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool A riveting, hallucinatory joy-ride into a dangerous future by a terrific author writing at the top of his game. --Vincent Zandri, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Remains and When Shadows Come Fun, fast, and addictive. Kroese gives us a sci-fi /noir detective story that manages to catch the reader off guard again and again. --Peter Clines, author of The Fold, 14, and the Ex-Heroes series An enthralling blend of sci-fi and noir, The Big Sheep left me salivating for a second helping of Erasmus Keane's adventures. --Rick Gualtieri, author of The Tome of Bill series Kroese demonstrates his creative imaginative world-building in this sci-fi mystery series debut set in 2039 Los Angeles. -- Publishers Weekly Clever, wry, and not above a little groan-inducing wordplay of the very best kind... a tale of our miserable tomorrow that's simultaneously sobering and fun. --NPR Books I really hope there will be a sequel because I really want to know what happens next! ...just believe me when I say if you like mysteries blended with just a dollop of science fiction. - I would place money on you enjoying this book! --Seattle Mystery Bookshop

Author Information

ROBERT KROESE honed his sense of irony growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. After barely graduating from Calvin College, he stumbled into software development. In 2009, he called upon his extensive knowledge of useless information and love of explosions to write his first novel, Mercury Falls. He has written three more books in the Mercury series and a humorous epic fantasy, Disenchanted. The Last Iota is probably something like Kroese's twelfth book, but there's no way to know for certain.
