Praise for Walter Greatshell

“An enthralling, apocalyptic fusion of Gulliver’s Travels and Food of the Gods, Enormity comes at you with big ideas, voluminous scope and colossal pace. [Greatshell] has the high-tech savvy and breadth of vision of a great SF writer, coupled with considerable daring.”

—James Lovegrove, New York Times bestselling author of Redlaw and The Age of Zeus

“Hilarious, fast-paced, and just mind-blowingly cool, Enormity is part Michael Crichton, part Jonathan Swift, maybe even a little bit Tom Clancy, but in the end genuinely unique...a page-turning thriller that will make you remember why you fell in love with Science Fiction all those years ago. This is some seriously good stuff!”

—Joe McKinney, author of Apocalypse of the Dead and Flesh Eaters

“Enormity is at once tight and sprawling, a vibrant rush of Phildickian apocalyptic menace. What feels at first like the collision of genres in a particle accelerator blends seamlessly into a whirling dervish of a novel that goes down like Everclear with a quark-gluon chaser. If you like spy movies, heist novels, Tom Clancy, and crazed speculations on the underlying structure of the universe, you’ll eat Enormity up with a spoon.”

—Thomas S. Roche, author of The Panama Laugh

“Equal parts science fiction thriller and coming-of-consciousness tale, this page-turner lays bare the inanity of modern-day existence in grand style. Powered by an endearing heroine (whose ingenuity and resourcefulness make MacGyver look inept), pedal-to-the-metal pacing, and generous amounts of social commentary, this science fiction thrill ride is the literary equivalent of a syringe full of adrenaline.”

—Publishers Weekly, on Mad Skills

“A heady brew of horror, science-fiction, suspense, and adventure…as sharp and bone-chilling as an arctic gale.”

—A. J. Matthews, author of Looking Glass and The White Room

“I really loved Xombies and want know what’s up next.”

—Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Ghost Road Blues

“Beyond the freshness of take on the subject matter and the compelling narrative, I was taken completely by the sheer quality of the writing. Often genre fiction is driven more by ideas and momentum than by good writing, but not in the case of Xombies. That was top-notch in every regard. A modern classic.”

—Bob Fingerman, author of Bottomfeeder

“I loved [Xombies] and have to [say] it was one of the big inspirations for Monster Island. [Greatshell] conjured up so many great images in that novel, but I think the thing I liked most about it was the characterizations—the dynamics of power and love between the various characters are really masterful.”

—David Wellington, author of Monster Island

“Xombies is by far the best horror novel I’ve read. I can’t wait for Xombie Rama! Hell, I’d check out anything that [Greatshell had] written at this point.”

—Jason Thompson, author of Manga: The Complete Guide

“The writing is fast-paced and keeps you hooked. The book itself is a cross between Night of the Living Dead and an end-of-the-world type premise like Earth Abides. I see the makings for a pretty decent horror movie—maybe Hollywood will listen?”

—Tracy Farnsworth, Round Table Reviews, on Xombies

“This book has it all: action, excitement, a subtle love story, a bit of comedy, a really cool part where the story is told from the point of view of a Xombie. The book is even left open for a sequel. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.”

—The Keyhole reviews, on Xombies
