Reviews

Dwain Worrell's Androne straps you into the cockpit at page one and doesn't let go; it's a truly cinematic, character-centered Moebius strip of war, loyalty, and love, with action so good you might forget how to breathe. Karen Osborne, author of Architects of Memory A crazy-cool ride into the unknown. Paxton is a multi-layered, futuristic hero, and [Androne] reads like a high-end videogame on steroids with a destiny of Shakespearean magnitude.
