“...a fully original sci-fi mythology…vividly rendered and suspenseful…tonally similar to the HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT series…enjoyably akin to works like the ENDER’S GAME novels and VALERIAN comic series…”

“...a well-written science fiction story that doesn't lose sight of the humanity of its characters…[with] mirrors of The Great Depression…[and] hints of the classic western…the world-building in this novel is excellent.”
