Ben Aaronovitch was born in London in 1964 and had the kind of dull routine childhood that drives a man to drink or to science fiction. He is a screenwriter, with early notable success on BBC television’s legendary Doctor Who, for which he wrote some episodes now widely regarded as classics, and which even he is quite fond of. He has also penned several groundbreaking TV tie-in novels. After a decade of such work, he decided it was time to show the world what he could really do and embarked on his first serious original novel. The result is Midnight Riot, the debut adventure of Peter Grant.
“Fresh, original and a wonderful read. I loved it.”—Charlaine
Harris
“Midnight Riot is what would happen if Harry Potter grew up and
joined the Fuzz. It is a hilarious, keenly imagined caper.”—Diana
Gabaldon
“Filled with detail and imagination . . . Aaronovitch is a name to
watch.”—Peter F. Hamilton
“The perfect blend of CSI and Harry Potter.”—io9
“Aaronovitch has created a fun and funny character in Grant, who
displays wit more than snark (a welcome attitude) and shows he can
think on his feet. . . . It's a great start to what will hopefully
be a long series of adventures.”—SFrevu
