ADVANCE PRAISE FOR 

MARCH OF THE WAR PRIESTS

"March of the War Priests is a kind of apocalyptic On the Road - the great American road trip reimagined for a generation running out of road ... Mordantly witty, starkly imagined and fiercely felt, Jensen's debut could do for climate punk what William Gibson's Neuromancer once did for cyberpunk." -Peter Ho Davies, author of A Lie Someone Told You About Yourself and The Welsh Girl

"Magnetic! March of the War Priests skateboards through the world’s end pulsing with the urgency of those few who actually see it coming. Beautifully crafted and with a rich and immensely endearing cast of characters, Samuel Jensen creates a mesmerizing story of friendship, loss and a passionate hunt for hope amid hopelessness." -Gerardo Sámano Córdova, author of Monstrilio

"It's like someone took the ragged sensibility of The Warriors [and] filtered it through the surreal, horror-inflected vision of Samuel Delany or Jeff VanderMeer ... To read this novel is to catch a glimpse of our collective future." -Kristen Roupenian, author of Cat Person and Other Stories

"Samuel Jensen’s March of the War Priests is a joyful ride through the climate apocalypse. This ambitious debut novel asks the big questions about our relationship to the natural world and what we want for our future ... As I read, I felt like I was on a board with these ragtag skater kids, slightly less afraid of oblivion." -Alexander Sammartino, author of Last Acts and Gallo

“Insistent, profane, tender.” -Tegan Nia Swanson, author of Things We Found When the Water Went Down

"Jensen’s prose shimmers with life and humanity. March of the War Priests is a dystopian fever dream of a novel, at once nihilistic and meaningful, rageful and reverential, youthfully naïve and eternally wise. I would follow this band of angsty Texan skater punks anywhere." -Ashley Whitaker, author of Bitter Texas Honey

"This electrifying novel is a raw, high-octane journey ... Bold, visceral, and surprisingly funny." -Lillian Li, author of Number One Chinese Restaurant
