“Finding innovative science fiction is getting harder and harder … Then comes along a series of books from ECW Press called The Bloodlight Chronicles by Steve Stanton and hope for originality in the genre is revived.” — Amazing Stories

“Stylistically streamlined, this vibrant series opener should appeal to fans of Bruce Sterling and William Gibson.” — Library Journal

“This tale should appeal to science fiction readers, especially those who enjoy the virtual worlds and considering where computers and the internet may eventually lead us. Well-written, this volume resolves enough of its plot issues to satisfy, while leaving the door wide open to continue the adventure. Recommended.” — Canadian Review of Materials

“The book is a taut thriller, veering as it does between the real and the virtual, propelled by a central mystery … that bears some similarity to both C.S. Lewis’s sci-fi apologetic Out of the Silent Planet and Tad Williams’s Otherland series. Stanton gets a lot of things right with this book. It’s spiritually thoughtful without being pedantic. It moves along very well. He has a great ear for dialogue.” — Faith Today

“Well written, engaging, and provides us with a fascinating blend of cyberpunk and spiritual themes. This is a book that will stay with the reader; it offers us much to think about.” — On Spec Magazine

“Excellent writing, interesting characters and a believable vision of the future.” — Kasma SF
