Critic Reviews

"Evangelion by way of David Bowie—visceral, big-hearted, and ready to rock your world." (Emily Skrutskie, author of Bonds of Brass)

"August Kitko is a wild ride that starts with the end of the world and only gets better from there." (K.B. Wagers)

"Emotionally complex and mind-blisteringly weird, this novel kept surprising me at every turn. It's like a beautifully-orchestrated disco space battle, and I never wanted it to end." (Annalee Newitz, Lambda Award winning author of Autonomous)

Mixed quality with a lot of room for improvement

A great story and concept negatively affected by the unlike lead and a inconsistent pacing and Tone.
