Critics Review
The Beauty of Destruction is a brutal barnburner that ends an amazing trilogy; it’s raw and violent yet it’s also brilliant piece of work. * The Book Beard Blog *
This a very readable, fantastical romp across the past, present and future. Well recommended. * Upcoming 4 Me *
Gavin Smith’s writing is a brutal kaleidoscope of imagination, with the raw energy of a heavy metal album cover: equally dazzling with bloodthirsty ancient Picts and the fallen post-humans of tomorrow. – Hannu Rajaniemi, author of The Causal Angel
Age Of Scorpio announces loud and clear that in Gavin Smith an exceptional talent has arrived to uplift SF. The book is a master class of twisting plot lines that celebrate both the weird and astounding, amid a future that’s deeply unnerving yet equally compelling. – Peter F Hamilton
