Celestial

I loved Celestial … addictively readable: good central mystery, cleverly extended; well-drawn characters, a brisk exciting narration … taut and tense and absorbing all the way through * Adam Roberts, author of The This *Fast-paced, exciting and full of mystery, this lunar-based novel explores deep questions regarding religion, meaning, and the nature of reality itself * Liz Williams, author of Banner of Souls *For a science fiction reader looking for a modern feeling novel, but with a nod to some classic sci fi pondering, Celestial is a book that will scratch that itch * SF Book *Enter a brilliantly conceived extraterrestial wonderland … Celestial is a visionary escapade redolant of Arthur C. Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama * The Times *A first-contact story with more than just a cold war twist … all plot threads are pulled together to a satisfying and enlightening conclusion * SciFiNow *A refreshing change from the usual macho adventure story, one more about inner than outer space * The Guardian *A story that is not what you expect, nor one you can you predict * SFF World *
