Critic Reviews

“"John P. Murphy's Red Noise is a snarky, grungy, hyperkinetic space romp that reads like a Neal Stephenson novel collided with a VHS copy of A Fistful of Dollars at high speed. The pacing is taut, the characters are vivid, bad-ass, and zany, the dialogue is razor-sharp, and the whole thing is just plain fun." - Marko Kloos, author of the Frontline series "Stylish, funny, action-packed, cinematic, Red Noise is the wise-cracking, gravity-defying, bullet-lasering Yojimbo-in-space you've been waiting for. John Murphy is a master of tight plots and unforgettable characters." - Ken Liu, award-winning author of The Grace of Kings”
