Praise for The Anomaly Quartet:

‘It’s like an episode of Star Trek written by JM Coetzee’

Financial Times

‘Beautifully written, creepy as hell. THE EXPLORER is as clever in its unravelling as it is breathlessly claustrophobic’
Lauren Beukes, author of THE SHINING GIRLS

‘As you marvel at this twist-laden deep-space exploration thriller, it’s hard not to draw comparisons with Duncan Jones’ film Moon’
Shortlist

‘A fascinating character study that could only exist in a science-fictional world’

Foyles
