CamCat Trade Reviews
Library Journal reviewed Grand Tour: The Brass Queen II by Elizabeth Chatsworth: “VERDICT: In the sequel to The Brass Queen, the vivid worldbuilding and delightful characters create an epic setting. Chatsworth pushes the dialogue and banter to extremes, leading to a fast-paced and humorous steampunk tale.
Library Journal reviewed Calypso Down by James Lindholm: “VERDICT: Fans of James Bond and the MacGyver TV series will adore this fast-paced, undersea thriller featuring a dynamic duo-type relationship.”
Library Journal reviewed Space Holes: First Transmission by B. R. Louis: “This novel combines the over-the-top satire and sheer corporate bureaucratic farce of the movie Office Space and sets it in a universe reminiscent of John Scalzi’s Redshirts with its parody/homage to Star Trek.”
Shelf Awareness reviewed The Oxygen Farmer by Colin Holmes: “Holmes crafts a twisty thriller with conspiracies to spare . . . this is a rollicking science-fiction thriller that will please fans of Andy Weir.”
Publishers Weekly reviewed The Stricken by Morgan Shamy: “[T]his intriguing read by Shamy (The Dollmaker, for adults) provides much in the way of unique and interesting concepts that turn many classic high-fantasy genre beats on their heads.”
