Why read it?
1 author picked Kop as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m a huge fan of realism in fiction, particularly in character-driven tales of the dark side. This book reads like a modern-day chronicle of Earth—gritty realism, cynical truth—only set on the ghetto planet of Lagarto. Is it sci-fi or hardboiled crime noir? Who cares? It is a great read.

From Michael's list on brilliant genre defying storytelling.
