What They're Saying
Critics Review
Visceral, brutal, intense and engrossing. It’s quite the read, from an interesting new voice in the genre. Germline is definitely highly recommended.
The conclusion is simultaneously heartbreaking and triumphant, and utterly appropriate for the brutal, bloody, and magnificent story - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A standalone tale that encompasses theology and existentialism in its story of a genetically engineered warrior discovering her own path … Although the novel takes place in the midst of a war and involves a number of battles, it’s less a war story than a rumination on identity and faith, anchored by a protagonist who brings surprising and moving depths to familiar science-fiction concepts.This exciting and thoughtful story marks McCarthy as one of sci-fi’s most promising new talents, and bodes well for the series’ forthcoming third installment. - KIRKUS REVIEWSAbout The Author
