Critics Review

High octane SF adventure with Smith’s trademark twist.

High octane SF adventure with Smith’s trademark twist. * Jamie Sawyer, author of The Lazarus War *The characters are well drawn, the action fluid, fast, and excellently written. Both books are cracking reads, and if spaceship level SF is your thing then you should probably snap up both. * Adrian Tchaikovsky *Gloriously action-packed and often brutal. * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *Gavin G Smith joined the ranks of ‘Masters of Military SciFi’ with his book The Bastard Legion, which took many of the preconceived notions of the ‘shooty death in space genre’ and turned them around. * STARBURST *A fast paced, high action, blood and guts thriller of a ride… the characters are brilliant, the dialogue tight and the world building epic. * THE BOOK BEARD *
