ReviewsPraise for Simon Logan "Sequel to 2012's Katja from the Punk Band , [ Get Katja ] sees the eponymous character emerge from hiding to front her punk band once more, an ill-considered decision that attracts the close attention of the startlingly diverse assortment of people with a grudge against Katja. . . . Logan handles his large cast with skill, flicking from person to person, from plot to plot and back and forth through time to create a fast paced madcap caper story. . . . Energetic and amusing, this is a worthy sequel to the original." -- Publishers Weekly "Logan is a stylish transgressor for the next evolutionary moment. He reminds me of Harlan Ellison at his most daring and dangerous raw, fearless, unpredictable, disturbing, and much needed. . . ." --Jack O'Connell, author of Word Made Flesh and The Resurrectionist "Like a combination of David Bunch and J. G. Ballard, Logan tells tales of a wounded humanity that has lived so long with its mechanical adjuncts that 'nature' is a meaningless term. . . ." --Paul Di Filippo, author of Wikiworld , and The Steampunk Trilogy "A visionary in the genre's midst. . . ." -- Asimov's "What is impressive about Logan is his distinctive milieu, his command of tone and atmosphere and his deftly sketched selection of characters. Logan wants, and probably deserves, his own genre. . . ." --Martin Lewis, SFSite.com
