Critics Review

Aquietly profound, humane tour de force that tackles politics and gender issues with refreshing optimism. - Guardian

A joyous, optimistic space opera… Although it isn’t shy about tackling Big Questions, PLANET is a heart-warming debut novel that will restore your faith in science fiction (specifically) and humanity (in general). - Tor.com

one of the most enjoyable, brilliantly realised spacey SF novels I’ve read in ages.

One of the most delightful novels science-fiction that I’ve read in recent years. - Citior SF

The Long Way is, very simply, an extremely good book, a seemingly effortless demonstration of how progressive and enjoyable science fiction can be. - Pornokitsch.com

A huge amount of space-opera-y fun, with some interestingly nuanced perspectives on gender woven into the whole.
