"Megayachts and breezy rivalries animate Chawaga’s wild sci-fi mystery debut set in hurricane-plagued near-future Florida...[I]nventive"

Publisher's Weekly

“SALVAGIA delivers a nostalgic mystery, adventure, and climate punk all in one package. This is a miss-your-subway-stop, keep-listening-in-your-driveway, hide-it-in-a-textbook, read-it-during-a-Zoom-call level of superb.”

Mur Lafferty, author of the Midsolar Murders series

“A sharp and inventive debut, SALVAGIA is a full-throttle trip that doesn’t let up until the last page. With deft worldbuilding and compellingly noirish characters, Chawaga’s future Florida crackles with intrigue and danger at every turn.”

Victor Manibo, author of The Sleepless and Escape Velocity

“This near future novel weaves together elements of murder mysteries, thrillers, and found families into a propellant-fueled page turner of a plot. Along the way, Chawaga’s debut presents a critique of many present-day issues while avoiding a descent into total dystopianism, leaving the reader with a satisfyingly bittersweet finish.”

S.B. Divya, Hugo and Nebula finalist and author of MERU

“SALVAGIA makes the climate apocalypse look cool. From the depths of sunken Miami to the heights of atmo-breaker races, Chawaga zips through post-climate change Florida, taking his characters through a thrilling murder mystery that unravels into a set of corporate and personal entanglements that serve as a neat mirror of our own world’s issues, magnified and extrapolated into the future.”

Isabel J. Kim, Hugo and Nebula Award finalist and author of Sublimation

“SALVAGIA is a wonderful debut from one of the best new writers we have. If you love smart, exciting science fiction, this one's for you!”
