Double review of Major Karnage and Nexus: Ascension by Alex Good!

Alex Good has reviewed both Nexus: Ascension and Major Karnage in a single post. He calls the former "Well-punctuated with dramatic set pieces and thrills that are often sharp and bloody, the whole thing culminates in a spectacularly messy, and thoroughly satisfying, finale", and the latter "shows how it doesn't take much of a twist to turn tried-and-true conventions to parodic effect."

Amazing review for Nexus: Ascension!

Wow! Glowing praise comes to us from Adam Shaftoe, who writes: "As a study in human emotion and a first rate space opera, Robert Boyczuk’s Nexus: Ascension is so unique that it defies easy comparison. ... Short of the sheer physical exhaustion that comes with reading late into the night, it was almost impossible to find a reason to put this book down."

Nexus: Ascension Review in PW!

Boyczuk's grim first novel has no connection to the Mike Rude comic book of the same name, but in typical comic-book fashion, gadgets and scenery trump characterization, and female characters are relegated to emoting, nurturing, and providing sex. Surrounding the typecasting, however, are page-turning thrills aplenty. Centuries-old long-haul spacefarers Sav and Liis arrive at their homeworld of Bh'Haret with two bureaucrats as cargo. The planet broadcasts nothing but plague warnings, but with vital supplies near exhaustion, the four must don space suits and brave the ravaged surface. They depend on one another for survival, but mutual distrust may prove as deadly as the plague. Boyczuk borrows from sources as diverse as Tolkien, Star Wars, and Alan Moore, and integrates the miscellany admirably into a fast-paced plot. The dystopian human dynamics, on the other hand, are the stuff of an epic nihilistic hangover. (Aug.)
