Summary

Summary

Winner of the 2012 Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Paperback Original

A 2012 Anthony Award Nominee for Best Paperback Original

Recipient of a 2012 Philip K. Dick Award Special Citation

Robert Jackson Bennett's debut novel Mr. Shivers was called "compelling and truly horrifying" (Library Journal), winning him favorable comparisons to Stephen King and Cormac McCarthy. The Company Man takes listeners on a wild ride to 1919 Washington state, where a war is brewing between the McNaughton Corporation and its union workers. When the conflict's latest casualty prompts McNaughton security officer Cyril Hayes to investigate, he's soon caught up in worker claims that the corporation's machines have minds of their own.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Bennett combines horror, science fiction, and alternative history in a slow-burning novel which is both a superb character study of an alienated individual and a critique of heartless capitalism.” Guardian (London)
“Richard Poe dives headlong into this shadowy story, narrating at a swift pace with the gritty tone of the period steeped in his voice. The characters are well realized, and each has a clear, distinct sound that helps move the story along…Poe’s inspired reading keeps listeners tuned in.” AudioFile
“Bennett does the seemingly impossible here. He’s written an alternate-history novel that measures up in every respect to Philip K. Dick’s masterful The Man in the High Castle…Bennett weaves mystery into this strange but still recognizable world, and the result is one first-class book. Don’t miss it.” Booklist (starred review)
