Praise for Engines of Oblivion "A solid story of corporate control
versus personhood, alien encounters, and doing what is right as
opposed to what is easy."--Library Journal, starred review "Clever,
intricately constructed...Series fans and lovers of James S.A.
Corey's Expanse novels will be thrilled." --Publishers Weekly
Praise for Architects of Memory "Exciting and scary and fun and
smart and sad and moving all at the same time. You need this book
in your life."--Sam J. Miller, Nebula Award Winning author of The
Art of Starving and Blackfish City "A thrilling labyrinth of plot
twists exploring loyalty, trust, and promises."--Sue Burke, Arthur
C. Clarke Award finalist and author of Semiosis "Kick-ass and
poetic."--Emily Devenport, author of Medusa Uploaded "Far-future
corporate dystopia plus deep-space mystery plus powerful character
drama. For fans of Firefly, Killjoys, and The Wrong
Stars."--Michael R. Underwood, author of Annihilation Aria "An
absolutely stunning debut . . . razor-tipped and diamond-sharp. A
deadly first shot from one of the most incisive new voices in the
genre."--Tyler Hays, author of The Imaginary Corpse
"Architects of Memory is the queer, nail-biting lovechild of the
humanity of The Expanse and the action-fast pulse of Die Hard, and
I loved every minute of it."--A.J. Hackwith, author of The Library
of the Unwritten
"... A plot twisty, heart-stealing delight. It's the whole space
opera package: the Vai are some of the most perspective-shifting,
most poignant, most alien extraterrestrials I've ever encountered,
the corporate overlords have their scum dials turned up to eleven,
and the love story at its core is tragic and hopeful and beautiful
all at once. It's a safe bet that this debut is the start of
something really special."--Bryan Camp, Author of The City of Lost
