Once in a while a debut novel comes along that deserves to be on every radar, and Cassandra Khaw’s The All-Consuming World is that kind of book. It’s like if you’re wearing glasses/sunglasses, and it starts to rain, except in this case the drops of rain are problems with the relationship. “Dimmuborgir”… I wonder if it’s named after the band?Ĭassandra Khaw’s The All-Consuming Worldis due to be published by Erewhon in North America and in the UK, on June 22nd, 2021.

I’ve enjoyed the other work by Khaw that I’ve read, and am looking forward to reading The All-Consuming World, a science fiction novel about a group of cyborg ex-cons who want to rescue a missing teammate:Ī diverse team of broken, diminished former criminals get back together to solve the mystery of their last, disastrous mission and to rescue a missing and much-changed comrade… but they’re not the only ones in pursuit of the secret at the heart of the planet Dimmuborgir. Tor.com has described the protagonist in Cassandra Khaw‘s newest novel as having “heavy Furiosa vibes” (if you don’t know the reference, please go and watch Mad Max: Fury Road before you do anything else).
