Reviews

An absolutely shining example of using SF to hold a mirror up to our own society one of the most powerful tools of science fiction, and Tomlinson wields it here like both a scalpel and a shotgun.
Strange Currencies

New mysteries, action and conspiracies 4 stars.

Ive always said Tomlinson wrote imaginative, interesting books that more people should read. Ill say it again now. This is intelligent science fiction, with interesting thoughts on the broader human condition, wrapped in an absolutely smashing story.

PRAISE FOR THE CHILDREN OF A DEAD EARTH SERIES

There is so much good stuff wrapped insideThe Ark: a locked-room murder mystery, bare-knuckle action, and the kind of hard-boiled science fiction that will make your brain pop. Climb aboard...
Adam Rakunas,author ofWindswept

This is the story I wish I had written. Generation ship. Detective story. Tomlinson takes such discordant elements and weaves them into a fascinating story: a Manet painting, advanced probes, exoplanet imaging, and more. Im hoping that this is the start of a new subgenre: detectives in space!
J Daniel Batt, author of Young Gods: A Door Into Darkness

Another amazingstory with all the twists and turns Ive come to expect from Patrick S. Tomlinson. With a great mix of science fiction, action and mystery it is wonderfully written and its not world building but asthe author said its race building, so dont miss out on the turbulent ups and downs that had me undeniably hooked throughout the entire thing.
Books in Brogan

A solid read, and one I definitely recommend.
Strange Currencies

I could not putTridents Forgedown, and read it in one marathon sitting. That is as much due to the writing style and characters as the non-stop, nail-biting story thread. If youre an outer space sci-fi geek like I am, youre going to love this series!
