Critics Review

SEA OF RUST is a 40-megaton cruise missile of a novel - it’ll blow you away and lay waste to your heart. It is the most visceral, relentless, breathtaking work of SF in any medium since Mad Max: Fury Road - Joe Hill, Sunday Times bestselling author

Like an AI-centred, desert-bound twist on Children of Men, this is a sensitive and smart novel that surprises you with its depth of feeling. - SciFiNow

Sea of Rust is modern, smart fiction that belies it’s majesty with a light touch. One of the science fiction books you should read this year. - SF Book

An action-packed post-apocalyptic thriller … [that] also addresses issues of soul and sentience in a subtle yet profound way - Financial Times (Best Books of 2017)

A soulful and stunningly accomplished work of science fiction … A stone-cold stunner of a story that deals with death and darkness yet is leavened with light and life - Tor.com
