What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘There are few works of sci-fi today that put readers on the edge of their seats as well as giving them food for thought, and Birmingham succeeds at both’
PRAISE FOR JOHN BIRMINGHAM:
‘Birmingham’s gripping novel launches readers into a genocidal interstellar war amid sudden violence and dark humor … Birmingham alternates between gut punches and laugh-out-loud humor, with some gore and thought-provoking philosophy thrown in for good measure … Plenty of twists, sharp turns, and fateful encounters will keep readers guessing and turning pages. This jarring, engrossing story of a species-wide fight for survival is recommended for all science fiction readers’ Publishers Weekly (starred review), on The Cruel Stars.
‘Plenty of grist and humour’ Sunday Times, on Axis of Time.
‘An excellent page-turner, laced with black humour’ FHM, on Axis of Time.
‘Glorious excitement and meticulous density’ Sci-Fi.com, on Axis of Time.
‘The action is nonstop, the characters very real - and very different from each other - and, to coin a phrase, it makes you think’ S.M. Stirling, on Final Impact.
