Amazing Stories calls it “…a rip-roaring adventure with action a’plenty, albeit steeped in intellectual pondering as to what it all means. This is a very neat trick to pull off, but it works…A remarkable achievement…”

Peter Watts, author of Blindsight calls it “One of the quirkiest and most original explorations of networked intelligence I’ve ever encountered.”

Douglas Smith, author of the award winning The Dream Rider Saga calls it, “a stunningly fresh post-apocalyptic tale.”

Morris Stevens, Author of Neon Titan Awakens calls it, “complex tale that is as thought-provoking as it is enjoyable. I read it straight through with almost no breaks, and I am extremely excited to see where the story goes in book two.”

Other reviews:

Eric Brown (former sf reviewer for The Guardian) says on Goodreads that it’s “A big, bold, ambitious novel (that) explores ideas of humanity, post-humanity, and much, much more in a sprawling VR extravaganza.” 

“…a world unlike any other I have experienced.” Peter G. McGarvey, Amazon

“Wow!! …every once in a very, very long while I run across a book with a truly original take on a meme that has already been well-mined. To run across such a book which is also well-written is exceedingly rare. Peter Halasz, Goodreads

“The concept of a biologically rooted AI surviving humanity’s collapse is brilliant, and the execution is just as striking. The Carnivorous Forest is one of the most original and haunting sci-fi settings I’ve read in years.” – Debbie Stephaine, Goodreads

“Glory’s fragmented way of speaking gave me chills. She’s a haunting symbol of digital overload and lost innocence.” Alice Winn, Goodreads
