Reviews,

J.T. Alblood's novel is a thought-provoking and groundbreaking work of best speculative sci-fi adventure of a lifetime.

“It would be hard to find a more original work than this. “


“...Engaging storytelling, fertile imagination, and evocative imagery will keep readers engrossed.”

“The novel conjures a mood of Kafkaesque bafflement that’s explained but not dispelled by a late reveal that readers will likely see coming. Alblood’s deft magical realism and talent for evocative description and sharply-etched characters make for an engaging story.”


“... thematically and tonally comparable to Kim Stanley Robinson’s Hugo Award-nominated deeply philosophical novel The Years of Rice and Salt (2002).”


“... truly was one of the most complex high concept novels I have laid eyes on in a long time.”
