" - "Thought provoking." - "You’ll be fascinated by the Wanderers cosmos!" - "Get this novel, read it and enjoy it." *reviews from Amazon, Goodreads and Bookbub |

FRACTURED CARAPACE
- "What a neat story! This author is so creative with all these different worlds and alien species. It was really cool to get to see the details of life on one of these worlds for one small species. If you liked the Gil's world series, you will definitely enjoy this book as well." - "Thought provoking." - "We have the pleasure to meet yet more intriguing species/entities (biological, technological, etc.) and become immersed in further adventure/intrigue/mystery. My favorite aspect of this writing is how the strength of the characters is interwoven, sometimes overtly with others subliminally. These twisty reveals can happen unexpectedly. If you're into the more "science" part of "scifi", this author is for you!" - "I've read the book back in March and still find myself thinking about one particular character..." *reviews from Amazon, Goodreads and Bookbub |
Wanderers Series - Ongoing
A lone Wanderer ship has found something on an innocuous world, something inexplicably connected to the mysterious entity that started the war. Has it found a power that even the Ascended Biologicals did not possess?
|
GIL'S WORLD
- "The breadth and scope of the author's universe is staggering!" - "I don’t usually do reviews but I have to recommend this book." - "The story is told through several viewpoints and occurs in a universe filled with futuristic technology and races - think artificial intelligences, machines and species of every imaginable type. I think if you enjoy Iain M. Banks books (the Culture series) you'll enjoy these!" - "I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series." - "Very imaginative and thought provoking. I am waiting for the story to continue." - "Great book." - "Reminded my of older pure science fiction stories." *reviews from Amazon, Goodreads and Bookbub |
A Wanderer data-lect is minding its own business when a perplexing stranger makes an unexpected visit. Its absurd claims of other realities can’t possibly be true, can they?
|
SEARCHING THE VOID
- "The blend of biology, science, technology, and engineering is staggering. Thrown in some ideals and that makes for a masterful read!" - "What an amazingly unique tale." - "Great follow up to Gil's World, quite an enjoyable bit of sci-fi... It was difficult to put down at any point, had me laughing at some of the dialogue, and then just utterly shocked in further chapters. Without spoiling anything I really enjoy James take on the genre. I'd liken it in sort of the same family as Alastair Reynolds." - "Machine lects with attitude... Creatures that make one wonder how one even comes up with something like that! The saga is so versatile that it doesn't let thoughts wander away from you." - "When does the next one come out?!?" *reviews from Amazon, Goodreads and Bookbub |
The ruins of the Maspero may yield vital clues about the fabled Deliverer. The problem? The Maspero were Ascended Biologicals, whose ruins are generally best left alone…

INFINITE EYES
- "Gil continues to amaze! She's gutsy, complex, and yet vulnerable at times. This Wanderer universe is rather intricate, great worldbuilding. The different "-lects" are particularly well drawn. Also, the various viewpoints add a richness to these tales within tales. There are suggestions of fate and destiny, and some wrestle with free will. Excellent third installment..." - "Love the books... Never wrote a book review before but really had to on this series." - "What a great continuation of an already great series! Just like with the previous books, you can expect to bounce between different characters' perspectives with each chapter - a feature that I enjoy. You can also expect to be confused through much of the story only to have it all cleared up (as far as the author wants) by the end." *reviews from Amazon, Goodreads and Bookbub |
