Roboteer

Alex Lamb has crafted a terrific debut novel. If the subsequent volumes are as good as this one then Lamb will surely be prominent in many an SF fan’s bookcase. * Starburst Magazine *
Alex Lamb’s debut, Roboteer is hands down an awesome debut. Science FIction is a saturated genre but Roboteer breaks through it and, well smashes through with is with some very cool new ideas…. From the big picture of world building down to the critical features of mechanisms that make it twist and turn, the technology, and most importantly the characters, everything is shows until into the fine detail. I am looking forward to reading more of Alex Lamb’s books, if this is just the start, hang on to your hats! * tHE bOOK pLANK *
Although Lamb draws everything together in a satisfying way, there is clearly room for much more to be told about this universe and its characters. I don’t know whether a sequel is planned or under way, but I hope so as I look forward to travelling there again! * SF Crowsnest *
a fast paced, action adventure of a novel, with a good core protagonist/antagonist, within a universe I’m dying to hear more about. Worth picking up! * SF&F Reviews *
Lamb’s got so many ideas that they almost spill off the pages, and telling the story from both sides is a smart way of balancing the argument. * Sci-Fi Now *
Lamb shares Hamilton’s ability to sustain a breakneck narrative where you always want to rush ahead and see what happens next. hugely promising * SFX *
Roboteer hits the ground running…Lamb handles the politics without resorting to info dumps and in Will has created a sympathetic and well-rounded hero * The Guardian *
Roboteer is a wonderful mix of classic and original science fiction. Its plot is enormously enjoyable, putting us on the edge of our seat for much of the time. Alex Lamb writes so well and he also knows how to engage us with his characters. It is a very visual novel. There are moments of wonder, which I need in science fiction, and there are also great mysteries - none of which I’ve mentioned here as you need to discover them for yourselves. Above all else, though, Roboteeer is great fun! * For Winter’s Nights *
Lamb’s worldbuilding is excellent: we see multiple levels of society in both tranches of humanity through assorted characters that are deftly drawn…. Lamb leaves you wanting to learn more about all the societies he introduces… * Sf Bulletin *
with cracking storytelling, top notch prose and a good helping cracking universe building all round gives the reader a book that is fun to spend time between the sheets with. * Falcata Times *

Alexander Lamb splits his time between writing science fiction, software engineering, teaching improvised theater, running business communication skills workshops, and conducting complex systems research.
