“GRONE is an absolute masterpiece of science fiction.
Each chapter brings a fresh revelation… every new twist feeds you just enough information to feel like you’re sorting through the last handful of puzzle pieces you’re sure came from different boxes…[but then you] twist them around… and they suddenly fit together perfectly to create an immeasurably gratifying picture. Cumby is a master storyteller. ” —Beatrice Toothman, Seattle Book Review
“A kinetic and sharply written space opera [with] spirited, impressive worldbuilding [and] a stellar cast of characters.
Cumby’s spirited, impressive worldbuilding packs this first installment with incident. The novel moves at a steady clip [with] spry dialogue and intriguing narrative details. The stellar cast of characters includes a likable game designer and an uncompromising former dark-web hacker. The author doesn’t take long to link the dual plotlines, but there’s still plenty of mystery as well as a few shocks along the way. This book’s ending offers a surprising amount of closure, [and] copious virtual worlds remain for sequels to explore.” —Kirkus Reviews
