Shortlisted for the 2018 Philip K Dick Award
“Fun, funny, pacy, thought-provoking and very clever space opera—a
breath of fresh air.”
—Sean Williams, author of Twinmaker
“Ridiculously fun with a well-thought-out space opera setting and
lots of fancy reveals, and most of all a nice romance between two
women who are there for each other when the alien brain spiders
start swarming.”
—Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky
“Pratt’s worldbuilding fascinates, and the plot serves up action
and big ideas in equally tasty helpings. This is definitely a
series to watch.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Through his wit, dialogue, and vast, diverse world, Tim Pratt has
created a space opera for today–one filled with diverse characters
and cultures that feel nuanced enough to be real–while still
delivering the sense of wonder that made you love the genre in the
first place. It yanks readers through the wormhole and refuses to
let them go. When’s the sequel out?”
—Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
“Pratt gives all his characters and his galactic civilizations
depth, his action sequences are page-turners, and the tone stays
light-hearted (and sometimes even meta) despite the high stakes. I
don’t use the word “rollicking” often, but it applies here.”
—Book Riot
“Brilliantly fun space opera that reminds me of Killjoys but with
more Weird Alien Cool Shit.”
—Liz Bourke for Locus
“Bloody hell, but The Wrong Stars is an amazingly good, extremely
fun, very satisfying novel… The Wrong Stars is vital, visceral,
energetic pulp. The characters are enormously engaging, especially
Callie and Elena, whose slow-build romance and mutual uncertainty
over does she like me? and developing friendship are, by me, the
emotional heart of the book . . . The Wrong Stars stands out, and
right now, for me, stands alone.”
