PRAISE FOR ERIC BROWN
“Necropath was a real success for me: the depth of the characterisation; a very alien, yet deeply sympathetic life-form; the authenticity which Brown gives to the society on Bengal Station. This is a place that you can see, hear and virtually smell.”
SF Crow’s Nest
“The writing is studded with phrases I had to stop and reread because I liked them so much.”
Fantasy Magazine on Xenopath
“Eric Brown’s Helix is a classic concept—a built world to dwarf Rama and Ringworld—a setting for a hugely imaginative adventure. Helix is the very DNA of true SF. This is the rediscovery of wonder.”
Stephen Baxter
“Helix is essentially a romp—a gloriously old-fashioned slice of science fiction… What gives the novel a unique spin is its intertwining parallel plots. It’s smart, fun, page-turning stuff, with an engaging cast and plenty of twists… A hugely entertaining read.”
SFX Magazine
“He is a masterful storyteller. Eric Brown is often lauded as the next big thing in science fiction and you can see why…”
Strange Horizons
“SF infused with a cosmopolitan and literary sensibility… accomplished and affecting.”
Paul J. McAuley
“Eric Brown is the name to watch in SF.”
Peter F. Hamilton
“Helix is equal parts adventure, drama and wonder. Sometimes they work alone, providing a raw dose of science fiction. Other times, Brown uses them in concert to spin an irresistible blend that pulls the narrative along almost faster than you can keep up. However it’s served, Helix is a delightful read and is an excellent reminder of why we read science fiction: it’s fun!”
SF Signal
“Classic science-fiction components and a general reverence for science make this tale of intergalactic travel a worthy, occasionally awe-inspiring read… Brown’s spectacular creativity creates a constantly compelling read… a memorable addition to the genre.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Brown concentrates on stunning landscapes and in the way he conveys the conflicting points of view between races… No matter how familiar each character becomes, they continue to appear completely alien when viewed through the opposing set of eyes. Brown has a casual and unpretentious style and… the accessibility, the tenderness between characters and more importantly the scale of wonder involved are what makes this highly enjoyable escapism.”
Interzone
“There is always something strikingly probable about the futures that Eric Brown writes… No matter how dark the future that Eric Brown imagines, the hope of redemption is always present. No matter how alien the world he describes, there is always something hauntingly familiar about the situations that unfold there.”
Tony Ballantyne
“Eric Brown joins the ranks of Graham Joyce, Christopher Priest and Robert Holdstock as a master fabulist.”
Paul di Filippo
