SPIN CONTROL (Bantam Spectra, 2006)

Winner 2007 Philip K. Dick Award
Finalist Lambda Literary Award for SF

"In Moriarty's high-stakes, tension-riddled addition to visions of the posthuman future, the characters have the complexity of motivation and backstory to make this more than just another dire-future thriller." -Booklist

"Set in the same universe as Moriarty's SF debut, Spin State (2003), [this] richly textured second novel explores issues of identity and loyalty, swapping quantum mechanics for complexity theory and mystery for suspense ... Where Spin State was nominated for awards, this sequel may win them." -Publishers Weekly

"The cynical yet somehow still romantic spirit of John le Carré infuses Spin Control. The Middle Eastern setting, as well as the shifting sands of loyalties and allegiances, personal and otherwise, that leave not only characters but readers feeling as if there is nothing solid to stand on, nothing and no one that can be trusted, make it as much a traditional spy thriller as it is a science-fiction novel. Moriarty succeeds on both counts." -SCIFI.com

Finalist Spectrum Award

"A hefty far-future exploration of AI, human cloning, class conflict and plain old-fashioned murder ... beneath this complex tale ominously simmers Orwell's question: if all animals are to be equal, what can prevent some from making themselves more equal than others?" -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"Moriarty's debut novel combines a vivid future world of high technology and low politics with sharply drawn characters and a taut storyline." -LIBRARY JOURNAL

"Spin State delivers the rare mix of action and ideas that SF fans crave ... with style that springboards from the best of the cyberpunks to make Moriarty someone to be closely watched." -SFRevu
