Every once in a while a novel comes along that surprises the hell out of you. That was the case with “War Machine” by Andy Remic. All I really knew about the book going in was that is was classified as military science fiction and that it was the fourth novel by an author I had never heard of. So imagine my surprise when “War Machine” became my favorite science fiction novel of the year. Yes, you heard correctly. Gary Gibson’s “Stealing Light”, Peter F. Hamilton’s “The Dreaming Void”, Neal Asher’s “Hilldiggers”, Josh Conviser’s “Empyre”, Richard K. Morgan’s “Black Man/Thirteen”, Matthew Jarpe’s “Radio Freefall”; “War Machine” topped them all and no one is more shocked than I am!
...I loved every testosterone-fueled second that I was reading Andy Remic’s “War Machine” and the sequel is easily one of my most anticipated new releases...
-- Fantasy Book Critic
A hard-hitting, galaxy-spanning, no-holds-barred, old-fashioned action adventure.
-- The Guardian
Solaris is new hungry publisher and Andy Remic’s novel is indeed a solid ‘rock-hard military science fiction.’...Remic does a very good job keeping the sense of urgency throughout most of the novel...a far-future where one can easily find a perfectly poured pint of Guinness.
-- SFF World
Relentlessly paced; non-stop action; nice plot twists near the end... a book like this is designed to be a roller-coaster of fun, and it does succeed on that score, right up to the ending that clearly sets up the next book, which I am now eager to read... Remic's narrative is delivered with confidence in his storytelling ability and that only enhances the action and enjoyment. This book is loads of fun. There are weapons aplenty and cool settings... fun and fast-paced @$$-kicking action".
