Tom Toner was born in Somerset, England, in 1986. The Tropic of Eternity is the concluding volume in Toner's debut trilogy, following The Promise of the Child and The Weight of the World.
to call The Promise of the Child one of the most accomplished debuts of 2015 so far is to understate its weight-instead, let me moot that is among the most significant works of science fiction released in recent years - Tor.com(An) unceasing display of wonders... Toner has a knack for maximum suspense and variation. His dialogue is precise, witty and revelatory. His neologisms and general nomenclature rivals that of Jack Vance. And his staging of action scenes, both small and large, is laudable. This third novel honours the accomplishments of and promises of the first two, and serves as a fitting capstone to a unique creation... tempering the challenging abstruseness of Ada Palmer's novels with the anything-goes action swerves of A.E. Van Vogt and with the poetry of Le Guin, Tom Toner's Amaranthine Spectrum delivers a new flavour of space opera that is bound to dazzle and delight - Paul Di Filippo (Locus)The final book in Toner's ridiculously ambitious trilogy will force you to redefine what space opera can do... To put it simply, this is bold, challenging science fiction... those who have challenged themselves to absorb the breadth of Toner's vision of the future will find themselves satisfied by its striking conclusion - Barnes & Noblea beautifully crafted read that's evocative and hugely inventive - SFX [The Promise of the Child]Ambitious and well-executed - Kirkus Reviews [Tropic of Eternity]
