Praise for THE NINE

“[An] intriguing debut of nearly flawless writing. . . . A gritty series opener.”

Publishers Weekly

The Nine is a tense, fast-moving and twisty caper, with divided loyalties, creepy monsters, and grand mysteries. More please!”

—Max Gladstone, author of the Hugo Award-nominated Craft Sequence series

 

“George R. R. Martin and China Miéville have nothing on the audacious, intricate world-building, gritty politics, and compelling characters in this excellent debut.

– Sam J. Miller, Nebula Award–nominated author of The Art of Starving

 
“An inventive alloy of low-fantasy grit and saucy gaslamp caper, by turns both uplifting and brutal — I dug the world, I loved the characters, and I definitely want to know what happens next.”
– Curtis C. Chen, author of Waypoint Kangaroo (2017 Locus Awards Finalist)
 “I could write for days about how much The Nine drew me in and twisted me up with not just its richness and complexity, but its intensity and heart, too. I honestly can’t remember a debut novel as brilliant as this one, and the fact that it’s the start of a new series has me energized with not just its richness and complexity, but its intensity and heart, too. I honestly can’t remember a debut novel as brilliant as this one…”
– Brandon Crilly, reviewer for BlackGate magazine
