A Signal for Redemption

Winner of 16th annual National Indie Excellence Award - Gold medal for cross-genre fiction.

 

“A Signal for Redemption did not disappoint. From the very first page, I was swept into the story, compelled to keep reading...”  – Reedsy Discovery

Fascinating story with great characters and intriguing plot

“The world building is, quite frankly, stellar (excuse the pun). Imaginative, quirky at times, and just plain old clever the rest. You’ll want to savour the moments as you use each POV to put the pieces together. Intelligent writing like this gets you to think, but doesn’t lose you along the way.”Amazon UK Review

Couldn’t put it down

This was a very enjoyable read. Science fiction and the middle ages rolled into one very believable story….great job of describing the worlds the characters lived in and a great job of making the characters come alive. – Amazon Review
