BOOK FORMATTING
“Earth’s deep space future: kings and barons rule colony worlds, warship captains inherit command from their fathers, and a crusader fleet of alien-worshipping humans is slaughtering colonists to save their souls. Starship Gilead is a richly textured space opera with action and intrigue for readers to immerse in. Think Game of Thrones meets Star Trek.”
“Take the action and intrigue of The Expanse or Marko Kloos’ Frontline novels, mix in the intricate world building of Game of Thrones or Warhammer 40,000, and you have an elevator pitch that doesn’t do Relics of Utopia proper justice. John Graves flings us headlong into a rich, wonderfully complex universe harboring a long, troubled history and populated with a vast array of engaging characters. Bursting with detail and furious with action, this first tale of the Starship Gilead gives you everything you didn’t even know you wanted from your military science fiction.”
“The Bleak December has a ton of heart and hearkens the mind to the works of Stephen King.”
