Reviews

Knowles writes with a fresh outlook on sci-fi and has created a strange new world that sounds daunting even if it is far away.


Sandra Scholes at SF Site

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had the right mix of science fiction (robots, set in space, creepy quasi-’net) with the psychological mind tricks that outstanding harder science fiction should play with your mind.


Krista at Amazon

Obvious to see why this won a contest. Excellent world-building in a novella. Good heroine, interesting plot.

    This story was my first professional sale. The protagonist Izzy is trying to survive as the newest member of a power generating station in space… a station she thinks is haunted because a ghost soon begins sending her strange messages.

    The core mechanic of memory transference is used in another story of mine — John’s list (though under an entirely different circumstance).

    I won a first place finish in the Writers of the Future Contest with ‘Digital Rights’… that fantastic experience is described on some of my other pages, including this one: http://blog.brentknowles.com/2010/09/03/the-writers-of-the-future-week-page-of-lists/
