In the world of Gnomon, citizens are constantly observed and democracy has reached a pinnacle of "transparency".

The System doesn't make mistakes, but something isn't right about the circumstances surrounding Hunter's death.

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

In fact, the job is so big that he'll need a crew built from all the new sub-branches of humanity. If he succeeds, he might trigger an interstellar war, but success might also point the way to the next step of Homo quantus evolution.

Slow start - but very touching
Any additional comments?
First of all, the narration is really, really great.
The story starts out really slow as it eases its way under your skin. At some point it just grabs you and at times is very touching. It gets increasingly hard to put down. I can see why other reviewers might give up before that happens. If you are looking for a "slam-bang roller coaster ride" - skip this one.
Immediately after finishing, I had to go back and listen to the first hour or so again to put everything in context. It made so much more sense the second time through that part.
This story will be stuck in my head for quite some time to come. I'm looking forward to the next Nick Harkaway book already (whatever that might be).

Just as Good as Harkaway's Two Previous Novels
One often fears what happens when a favorite novelist decides he has something to say: something personal, something political or religious, something other than story. You're afraid the resulting novel will lose the free-form sense of wonderment that made the previous novels so exceptional. Will you be left with an elaborate moral essay? No matter how well-written or correct, such a work would nonetheless, be a bit of a letdown.
But this is Nick Harkaway we're talking about. No one juggles Life's Big Questions with story arch the way he does. But while spinning unforgettable stories populated by unforgettable characters, his two previous novels were clearly more about brain than heart. He nimbly teased us with moral quandaries amid plot twists racing towards a can't-stop-reading-now climax. Tigerman is different. It offers no doomsday machine or crazy substance that separates matter from what we know about matter. It does, however, have a huge heart. And, I'm happy to report that Harkaway's storytelling talent hasn't suffered under the burden of a tale with more emotional heft than brilliant plot devices. Tigerman is a different type of Harkaway novel, but just as good as anything else he's written.

Not as good as his other books, but has merit
Would you try another book from Nick Harkaway and/or Matt Bates?
I've read all of Harkaway's other books and love them. I can't wait for the next one.
If you’ve listened to books by Nick Harkaway before, how does this one compare?
This one isn't as good as the others, but to be honest that's a pretty high bar to reach. I did find the characters in this one a little more juvenile--like the Jungian archetypes of a wounded solider trying to make good running around with his side kick. It did have its moments though and is still worth a read if you like his other work.

Harkaway Man Makes Massive Win!
Third novel by Nick Harkaway, & he is 3 for 3, by my lights. I will read everything he writes. The deliberate (maybe even somewhat slow) start is important, as it sets the stage for a grand tale on a world stage, while its characters remain small, self contained. Bittersweet, but that rarest of contemporary works- it makes you want to be a better person, & to live up to the ideals of the two main characters. Ironic to be reading this after the Brits voted to leave the EU & my own country has elected a misogynistic , racist snake oil salesman as our next commander in chief. Hopefully Mr Harkaway will have the time to keep writing excellent stories...

What is a Super Hero?
Ultimately a heart-wrenching story of a British Sergeant in search of a son, and a boy who needs a father, but angles for a superhero to play out his game plan. In this puzzle, the pieces can't fit, but in the end there is still love and hope. Harkaway has a knack for quirky characters who twist the heart with bravery and loneliness.

Tigerman? A fat tabby that's been "fixed."
So shockingly poor. Characters are shallow, situations are unbelievable, the pretext is so open that it could facilitate anything - and yet doesn't. A middling graphic novel would have more depth and credibility.
I could not bring myself to finish listening to it.

Colonialism and theater warfare.
Nick Harkaway has written a powerful fiction illuminating the very real crimes committed on the world stage by foreign national superpwers.
He has woven a remarkable tale around a veteran suffering PTSD, a doomed island with a rich history of colonization, and a young boy steeped in modern social media and superhero worship.
This novel has a deep richness that will adeptly change your understanding of things from minute to minute and, then to prove that you were easily distracted, it will do it again.
Having read the novel twice before listening to this performance, I am quite happy with the narrator's interpretations.
This novel is not light. It is not happy. It is all too real. And yet, we must believe in heroes.

"Awesome" and "full of win!"
I've now finished all four of Nick Harkaway's books on Audible and though Tigerman is the shortest (being merely average-novel long and not the 29-hour epic that is Gnomon) I don't know how you'd even begin to rank them (or for that matter why you'd want to). It's another mad adventure starring another unlikely and reluctant protagonist set in a world that's almost ours but not quite: in this case a pseudo-diplomat and former soldier living out a kind of early retirement on a tropical island that has been condemned for destruction. Naturally we then get caught up in a murder, our hero assembles his band of very unlikely and very colourful allies and we're off on another brilliant mystery thriller which hops happily about from comically absurd to cruel and gruesome. Everything is described beautifully and Matt Bates does, as ever, an amazing job voicing everyone from northern British diplomat to female Japaneee scientist to Ukrainian gangster to small child from fantasy island nation.
It's been a rotten old time, this year of in-and-out lockdown. But Harkaway's books added appreciably to whatever sort of silver lining was left dangling off of 2020 and I'm sad not to have any left to read. Brilliant stuff. Buy it and feel better about things.

Less than the sun of its parts
What did you like best about Tigerman? What did you like least?
I liked the core concept, and the main character was attractively drawn. However, the story never really came together for me, and the slightly arch and surreal approach to the setting and action jarred. I couldn't quite believe in it all. And the ensuing left me cold. It was like a rough draft of an Iain Banks novel. Writing is competent though, and the performance by Matt Bates is excellent.
Would you be willing to try another book from Nick Harkaway? Why or why not?
I'd be curious to see if this is representative of his style, so maybe.
Which character – as performed by Matt Bates – was your favourite?
The central character. Nicely done.
Do you think Tigerman needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No. It's a self enclosed story to my mind.
Any additional comments?
An idea with potential, never quite realised for me.

Great writing and perfect narration
I found this book because I was looking for books narrated by Matt Bates - he's a marvellous narrator and does a perfect job here. Loved 'reading' a truly original book with fabulous writing. I hope more people discover this one.
