In Felaheen, did you enjoy ...

... if you appreciated the morally complex protagonist Ashraf Bey?

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan

If you were drawn to Ashraf Bey’s conflicted ethics and the blurred lines between law and criminality in Felaheen, you’ll love meeting Takeshi Kovacs in Altered Carbon. Kovacs is a former soldier turned private investigator in a gritty, noir future where bodies are interchangeable and morality is constantly tested. The book’s protagonist is as morally ambiguous as they come, forcing you to question where the line between hero and anti-hero really lies.

... the intricate and immersive worldbuilding of a future society?

The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi

If you enjoyed the vivid, well-realized alternate future of North Africa in Felaheen, you’ll be captivated by the rich, detailed vision of a bioengineered Thailand in The Windup Girl. Bacigalupi’s world is lush with unique cultures, languages, and political tensions, immersing you in a future both exotic and eerily plausible.

... the blend of political intrigue and shadowy conspiracies?

The City & The City by China Miéville

If you found yourself riveted by the tangled web of secrets, betrayals, and political games in Felaheen, you’ll be equally enthralled by the investigation at the heart of The City & The City. Inspector Tyador Borlú navigates overlapping cities and bureaucratic machinations, uncovering conspiracies that challenge the nature of reality and power itself.

... unexpected twists and noir-influenced surprises?

Gun, with Occasional Music by Jonathan Lethem

If the surprising plot reversals and noir sensibilities of Felaheen kept you on your toes, Gun, with Occasional Music will do the same. Detective Conrad Metcalf’s investigation takes wild turns—from talking animals to memory-destroying drugs—ensuring you’re never quite sure what’s coming next.

... a fast-paced plot in a cyberpunk-infused setting?

Neuromancer by William Gibson

If you enjoyed the relentless momentum and action-packed narrative of Felaheen, you’ll be swept up by the breakneck pace of Neuromancer. Follow Case as he navigates the criminal underworld of cyberspace, constantly dodging danger and uncovering secrets at every turn.
