"Noel K Hannan blows me away!" - Alan Grant

"Noel K Hannan can mix it with the big boys.... [and] it's about time he started to reach a wider audience." - Keith Brooke, infinityplus.co.uk

"... delightfully offbeat short stories... if you like to discover new writers, Shenanigans is well worth a look." - Tony Lee, Starburst magazine (rating: 9/10)

"... stylistic [with] a welcome absence of gravitas... modestly priced and quite nicely produced... Good value and worth a second read." - Chris Gilmore, Interzone magazine

"A glowing introduction by Ian Watson hints at the pleasures to be found in Noel Hannan's Shenanigans... [he] traffics mainly in post-cyberpunk wonders... [but] can achieve levels of David Bunchian weirdness as well... I detect echoes of Lucius Shepard and John Shirley, and with a capable acolyte like Hannan, these mentors can be proud." - Paul di Filippo, Asimov's magazine

"The tales [in this collection] are quick to read and thoroughly satisfying... [written] in a clear
prose style, with no grandeous words blocking the rapid flow of the narrative... This is a writer who should be read by anyone who needs a fresh look at SF. I expect to hear good things of Noel Hannan in future years." - Steve Mazey, eternalnight.co.uk

"This book is violent... [and it] is shocking when the violence happens because the characters are well-drawn, believable and likeable. Hannan takes issues and themes that are important in science fiction but uses a magnifying glass effect to focus on the individual and creates empathy between the reader and the characters." - Katie McGivern, sfcrowsnest.com

"Of the thirteen stories in this collection by Albedo One story-award-winner... two are masterpieces... Hannan likes his backgrounds grim and bleak... The other stories in this collection are solid reads... do yourself a favour - buy it." - Roelof Goudriaan, Albedo One
