    An outstanding SF writer
    Foundation
    The wealth of ideas on display is dazzling ... Systems of Romance easily stands head and shoulders above any other fiction I've read for years
    BBR Directory
    It may be ... that as a Dutch writer, outside the mainstream of Anglo-American SF but with a deep knowledge of it, Harland is in a position to be one of those who will invigorate SF during the present century
    Andy Sawyer, Alien Online


Follow Jeremy Rose in his search for his mysteriously lost lover Shikegi, as he follows a trail of missing artists: their bodies, their paintings ... and their hands.

The Hand That Takes is a wrenching portrait of loss, an adventure-crammed and brilliant near-future thriller, introducing one of Holland's foremost visionary authors to an international audience.
