ReviewsPraise for The Mountain in the Sea " The Mountain in the Sea is a first-rate speculative thriller, by turns fascinating, brutal, powerful, and redemptive." --Jeff VanderMeer, author of Annihilation "I loved this novel's brain and heart, its hidden traps, sheer propulsion, ingenious world-building, and purity of commitment to luminous ideas." --David Mitchell, New York Times bestselling author of Cloud Atlas "I came to The Mountain in the Sea for the cephalopods (I love cephalopods), but I stayed for the fascinating meditation on consciousness and personhood. I loved this book." --Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice "A novel that is alert, intelligent, open." --Nicole Flattery, The New York Times "[A] staggering book . . . [ The Mountain in the Sea ] has the clothes of a futuristic, eco-punk or cyberpunk thriller, the guts of a philosophy seminar and the soul of a religious tract." --Phillip Ball, New Scientist "Nayler's masterful debut combines fascinating science and well-wrought characters to deliver a deep dive into the nature of intelligent life . . . As entertaining as it is intellectually rigorous, this taut exploration of human--and inhuman--consciousness is a knockout." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Less a science-fiction adventure than a meditation on consciousness and self-awareness, the limitations of human language, and the reasons for those limitations, the novel teaches as it engages." -- Kirkus Reviews "Exciting, cerebral, and surprisingly compassionate, The Mountain in the Sea shines a light on the importance of our fragile ecosystem. Read this riveting novel if you love fresh takes on science fiction or you're just fascinated by the mysteries of nature." -- Apple Books Review, An Indie Next Pick! "Nayler's ( The Mountain in the Sea ) compelling sci-fi thriller contemplates human greed and de-extinction through science. Highly recommended for readers of ecoterrorism thrillers and climate fiction." -- Library Journal , starred review "Impassioned and impressive...an uncompromising climate fiction that strikes like a spear to the gut." -- Publishers Weekly "Fans of biology-inspired sf will enjoy this short novel about human greed, the beauty of mammoths, and one human's consuming fury." -- Booklist Praise for The Mountain in the Sea "I loved this novel's brain and heart, its hidden traps, sheer propulsion, ingenious world-building, and purity of commitment to luminous ideas." --David Mitchell, New York Times bestselling author of Cloud Atlas " The Mountain in the Sea is a first-rate speculative thriller, by turns fascinating, brutal, powerful, and redemptive." --Jeff VanderMeer, author of Annihilation " The Mountain in the Sea is a wildly original, gorgeously written, unputdownable gem of a novel. Ray Nayler is one of the most exciting new voices I've read in years." -- Blake Crouch , author of Upgrade and Dark Matter "I came to The Mountain in the Sea for the cephalopods (I love cephalopods), but I stayed for the fascinating meditation on consciousness and personhood.

In all my years as a science journalist, I could never quite get my head around the so-called hard problem of consciousness . . . It wasn't until I read Ray Nayler's The Mountain in the Sea that I truly understood it in my bones . . .

Artificial intelligence, nascent animal sentience, murderous flying drones: like the best of Gibson or Atwood, it brings all of the plot without forgetting the bigger questions of consciousness, ecocide, and scientific progress. Truly a one-of-a-kind story." --Kawai Strong Washburn, author of Sharks in the Time of Saviors "I came to The Mountain in the Sea for the cephalopods (I love cephalopods), but I stayed for the fascinating meditation on consciousness and personhood.

Read this riveting novel if you love fresh takes on science fiction or you're just fascinated by the mysteries of nature." -- Apple Books Review, The Tusks of Extinction is an Indie Next Pick! "Ray Nayler's The Tusks of Extinction is a compact novella that reads like a superb science fiction inversion of Ernest Hemingway's 'The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber.'" --Amal El-Mohtar for The New York Times "Nayler excels at writing about ecosystems, nonhuman communities and the dilemmas of conservation. Tusks also includes a sharp focus on toxic masculinity and the sort of power trip that would drive a person into an extreme environment to slaughter a beautiful, irreplaceable creature. The result is both breathtaking and heartbreaking." --Charlie Jane Anders for The Washington Post "Nayler's ( The Mountain in the Sea ) compelling sci-fi thriller contemplates human greed and de-extinction through science. Highly recommended for readers of ecoterrorism thrillers and climate fiction." -- Library Journal , starred review "Impassioned and impressive...an uncompromising climate fiction that strikes like a spear to the gut." -- Publishers Weekly " The Tusks of Extinction is a moving tribute to the beauty of beasts too often taken for granted and a musing on the gifts of nature; human's propensity toward violence and greed; and the hidden layers of meaning found in human interactions with the wild." -- Shelf Awareness "Fans of biology-inspired sf will enjoy this short novel about human greed, the beauty of mammoths, and one human's consuming fury." -- Booklist Praise for The Mountain in the Sea "I loved this novel's brain and heart, its hidden traps, sheer propulsion, ingenious world-building, and purity of commitment to luminous ideas." --David Mitchell, New York Times bestselling author of Cloud Atlas " The Mountain in the Sea is a first-rate speculative thriller, by turns fascinating, brutal, powerful, and redemptive." --Jeff VanderMeer, author of Annihilation " The Mountain in the Sea is a wildly original, gorgeously written, unputdownable gem of a novel.
