Critics Review
If military sci-fi found family amongst the most violent of galaxies coated in a greasy layer of body horror is what you enjoy reading [this is] an enjoyable reading experience * Grimdark Magazine *
Szal does plenty to cement The Common as a supremely solid Sci Fi series that doesn’t hold back * FanfiAddict *
Well and truly worth the wait. Everything gets bigger and badder. The action is pushed to new heights. And yet the story remains grounded and focused on the same character, the same journey, the same struggle. This really was an ideal culmination of everything that had been set up before * The Book Guy *
Finishes the story with a bloodsoaked, rage-fueled, emotional roar * The Book Beard Review *
Brutal and beautiful * Smoky Mountains Reader *
The pacing and action in this series are mind-blowingly good * Fully Booked *
Wolfskin is great fun if you like your science fiction with lots of tech-fuelled action * Stefen’s Books *
Part gothic space opera, part grimdark sci-fi thriller, there is no better sci-fi experience available right now than the Common series * Tähtivaeltaja *

He was the editor for the Hugo-winning StarShipSofa until 2020 and has a BA in Film Studies and Creative Writing from UNSW. He carves out a living in Sydney, Australia with his family. He loves watching weird movies, collecting boutique gins, exploring cities, cold weather, and dark humour. STORMBLOOD is his first novel.
