Critics Review
This revealing portal fantasy takes ordinary folks and drops them into an extraordinary landscape, something like Narnia noir.– Publishers Weekly
It’s the character’s experiences that make this a fresh take on the “cut off from civilisation” subgenre … we’re drawn in by their responses to this world (DOWN STATION review) - SFX
Once again Simon Morden takes the fantasy genre and moulds it wonderfully … What makes Down Station so great is the immaculate pacing and the way character shapes fate for each of the well-drawn main characters - The SunThere are horrors that surprise as well as moments of wonder. The story is patient, and every sequence is both a physical battle and philosophical teaching that merge with well-placed hooks (DOWN STATION review) - Sci-Fi NowThis is a very fast-paced book, with intense moments of danger as well as being full of wonder. There are so many things to discover in Down not only geographically but historically … Morden has written a book full of mysteries that are just waiting to be discovered (DOWN STATION review) - Fantasy Book ReviewAbout The Author
