PRAISE FOR GARY PHILLIPS

'In the tradition of Hammett's Continental Op, Ivan Monk takes on a corrupt world. He's ready to go down fighting and he makes us feel that the war he's waging is for our own salvation.' - Walter Mosley

'Ivan Monk traverses the terrain of the boosters and mercenaries who run Blade Runnerville. He is an unbowed, post modern protagonist who, with brains and brawn, confronts this Hobbesian universe in his quest for the answers. Violent Spring peels away the studded rind of the golden orange, exposing its bete noire core.' - Mike Davis

"Tough, smart and unabashedly political." - Gar Anthony Haywood
