Editorial reviews

About Acadie

Acadie is a great story, showing that there’s more to this author than his well-known series.

About Sea of Rust

Innovative worldbuilding, a tight plot, and cinematic action sequences make for an exciting ride through a blasted landscape full of dying robots.

About Tomorrow's Kin

Tomorrow’s Kin is a great alien-first-contact novel that has a pleasing amount of serious science to tell a surprisingly human story. Readers of Analog and Asimov’s Magazine will recognise its style and its quality.

About When the English Fall: A Novel

“When the English Fall” is, slyly, a parable for climate change and for the horrifying threats it poses to the global order.

About Bannerless

I found Bannerless to be great fun, just the thing I needed to help me get through a slump!

About When the English Fall: A Novel

David Williams's debut examines the hearts of men at times of true testing: when disaster strikes and all seems lost. Some react with sorrow and violence, while others hold firm and strong in their beliefs. But no one remains immune to or untouched by the fear of uncertainty.

About When the English Fall: A Novel

The bulk of the narrative...raises many important questions about modern life, community, and personal responsibility and compassion, making it a more than worthwhile addition to the rapidly growing genre of post-apocalyptic literature.

About Armistice: The Hot War

Though there are a few historical missteps, readers who savor the patient accumulation of detail around each scenario will by now be thoroughly addicted.

About Tropic of Kansas

It is, in this particular moment in history, frighteningly prescient. It is the nightly news with the volume turned up to 11.

About Amatka

Amatka does not wrap up as conclusively as many readers may like, but then it's nowhere near being a conventional sci-fi novel.

About Dear Cyborgs

A colorful meditation on friendship and creation nested within a fictional universe.

About The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.

Though it’s no comic classic, The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. is big, roomy and enjoyable. The historical scenes are refreshingly unembarrassed by their hey-nonny-nonnyisms.

About River of Teeth

River of Teeth is a wonderfully original debut, guaranteed to cast long, sinister shadows over beloved family board games for years to come.

About New York 2140

“New York 2140” is a big, playful and thoroughly engrossing book, generous in spirit and very serious about the political issues it raises.

About Radiate

This conclusion lacks the propulsive power of Lightless, but it opens up into a compelling emotional tale about two people trying to save each other from a disaster of their own making.

About Entropy in Bloom: Stories

This collection of (mostly) previously published stories showcases the best of the worst of Jeremy Robert Johnson. And by worst, I mean most gut-churning and nightmare inducing. Everything from roided-out he-beasts to mind-altering meat sprouts.

About Walkaway

It's all about the deep, disturbing, recognizable weirdness of the future that must come from the present we have already made for ourselves, trying to figure out what went wrong and what comes next.

About Borne

This coming-of-age story signals that eco-fiction has come of age as well: wilder, more reckless and more breathtaking than previously thought, a wager and a promise that what emerges from the 21st century will be as good as any from the 20th, or the 19th.

About Void Star

“Void Star” treats the best aspects of cyberpunk with respect and imagination and adds its own fresh speculations about AIs and other digital marvels. Mason is clearly a versatile talent, and his second novel may be a harbinger of even more ambitious work to come.
