Reviews
All underpinned by great ideas. And it is crisply modern - but with the sensibility of classic science fiction. Asimov or Clarke might have written thisStephen Baxter
You know you’re in for a ride. . . This book thoroughly engaged me. Children of Ruin is a humdinger of a book I enjoyed immenselyNeal Asher

Breathtaking scope and vision. Adrian Tchaikovsky is one of our finest writersGareth Powell
