Just received this new review over at Amazon.co.uk
"I've long been an admirer of Rob Rowntree's short fiction and was delighted to get hold of this full length novel.
Unbound Brothers is a complex, but engaging tale set in the future. Alan, the protagonist is a "Blue Space" pilot who is offered a mission to a mysterious destination. There are reasons he does not want to accept and pressing reasons why he should. As the story unfolds we learn more about him and other members of the crew. Events twist and turn, making it hard to predict the outcome and the characters quietly insinuate themselves on your consciousness. It's been a while since I read the book, yet Rowntree's powerful, but delicately drawn descriptions of the sights,sounds and sensations encountered by the protagonist continue to haunt me.
If it was a song I would call it a grower - a great read whose qualities become more and more obvious with time, even long after reading."
Get it while it's hot $0.99 for an early Xmas bargain.
