''A gripping read that moves at warp speed'' Jack Campbell, author of the Lost Fleet novels, on The Lazarus War: Artefact

''A hostile race of alien biomechs somewhat in the mould of H. R. Giger aliens . . . terrorism, subterfuge and traitors . . . starships sporting particle beam weapons, railguns the size of skyscrapers, laser batteries, missiles . . . And then there are the uber-human super-soldiers clad in powered armour and wielding plasma weapons . . . Is that enough for you? . . . This, dear readers, is the good stuff. Recommended'' Neal Asher, author of the Agent Cormac novels, on The Lazarus War: Artefact
