Reviews

Fast, furious, violent, slightly tongue-in-cheek (I think), and a whole lot of fun that makes 1984 seem like a children’s tea party . . . the start of another promising series from Asher. Go on, dive in, you won’t be disappointed.
*British Fantasy Society*

Delivers plenty of thrills, and the climax also sets up a very intriguing status quo for the second volume.
*SFX*

Action packed and thrilling, The Departure is a must for all fans of contemporary science fiction who haven’t experienced Asher’s visceral novels before.
*We Love This Book*

The Orwellian intro had me utterly hooked right from the start. I simply couldn’t stop reading until I reached the end.
*WorldsInInk*

Fast, dramatic stuff . . . this is a book with lots of Asher trademarks: rapid pace, great action, messy consequences.
*SFFWorld*

I had an absolute blast with this book . . . his work really does get better and better.
*Falcata Times*
