Well done Justin! Especially for flying the SFF flag on the BBC!

Justin has an almost chameleon-like ability to sound like David Gemmell when he writes fantasy, John Wyndham when he writes SF, and Neil Gaiman when he shows us the dark side of our own world. He is clearly a force to be reckoned with, and I for one believe Justin Thorne will be around for some time to come.
I think they like your work, dude.

Re: First review...

Congratulations that was a really great review, when someone thinks you could have written a novel on the premise of a short story you're on to a winner am I right?

Sounds like an interesting collection, plenty to get stuck into.

well done, official author person. Enjoy Saturday.

Re: First review...

Yea, praise indeed, I love Gemmell and have every single one of his books, so I am glad the influence is creeping in.

I did a radio interview the day before the launch and you can hear it HERE>>> - scroll down and there is a player on the left-hand margin.
