'Harsh, sometimes grotesque, strongly compelling - a classical journey told in a new, uncompromising voice' - John Meaney. 'Harvey paints a grimly convincing portrait of a subsistence existence on the inhospitable world. Harvey's...novel depicts a fascinating universe of want and plenitude, to which he will hopefully return in future novels' - Eric Brown, The Guardian . '[Colin Harvey] deserves a place on your shelf along with Asher, Reynolds, Hamilton and Stross' - Deadwood Reviews .
