When is the next one out please?
"...beautiful, complex hard sf story...it really does hit the ground running after the first couple of chapters and I love that...If you like Iain M Banks, Neal Asher or just a really good story, read this book. When is the next one out please?!" Read here.
VERY strange alien species
"...a big, sprawling epic type of sci‑fi story...involves giant ships, lost and/or resurrected civilizations, strange (and in some cases, VERY strange) alien species, espionage, politics, space warfare, and more!...shades of some of those giant stories, like from Heinlein or Dick...I can't wait to read the next book." Read here.
Lot of fun
"I had a lot of fun reading this one and am looking forward to the rest of the series!" Read here.
Set in space, deep space
"This is a story set in space, deep space, and I really enjoyed Murdo's world building here...There is so much I need to know about and the second novel can't drop soon enough." Read here.
Grounded in science
"Honestly, when I was reading this book it was very clear to me that a lot of research had gone into developing a story as grounded in science as possible whilst still being “fictional”..." Read here.
Phenomenal
"...this book is phenomenal! I was 2/3 of the way through Dune when I started reading Echoes of Gravity, so it had an uphill battle from the start. And it totally delivered!" Read here.
You will love Echoes of Gravity!

Complex and intelligent SF
"...part space opera, part political thriller that strongly builds suspense throughout the novel...I loved Echoes of Gravity.
