I'm looking for honest reviews of my scifi novella - I'll send you a voucher code to get a free ebook if you're interested.
I'm terrible at writing blurbs so I've asked friends to tell me what they thought. Most of them hate scifi so I have very view opinions to go on but here are a few of their comments:
'Reminded me a little of Roberto Bolano's 2666' - was delighted to be mentioned in the same sentence as him!
'It was really easy to read, fast paced plot, and I liked the characters. I forgot it was written by you and just enjoyed it as a book. Probably shouldn't let Mum & Dad read it.' - That was my sister but she's honest, I promise!
'I really wanted to know what was going to happen next.'
This is the blurb:
On a decades-long flight from Earth to another planet, Solace struggled with addiction. Put to sleep for the rest of the journey, he awakes to find himself on a frozen planet whose terraforming has only just begun. The colonists drift through their long lives, editing their own thoughts and experiences of life, sharing them with each other. Brutal murders are epidemic but hardly anybody seems to care. Solace and Karla, who is in charge of law enforcement in the colony, might be the only ones on the planet who have a chance to unravel what’s going on.
If you fancy reading and possibly reviewing I would be delighted.
Thanks for reading,
Walter
