TESTIMONIALS and REVIEWS
“The Novus Quandary is not just a promising debut from a first-time novelist, it’s a damn good book. The story is deep, complex and intriguing. The pacing is brisk. Characters are well-drawn and developed, and Van Rhoon’s natural ear for dialogue is something that can’t be taught. If you like adventure and sci-fi with a dollop of Steampunk and a dash of humor, I highly recommend this book.”
– Aaron Conners, Author of the award-winning Tex Murphy series
“The Novus Quandary is smart, ambitious, and a very promising beginning to a new space opera series with excellent worldbuilding elements and an intriguing premise. If you like the idea of Indiana Jones in the world of Dune, this will be well worth your time.”
– Gregory A. Wilson, Author of The Third Sign, Grayshade, and the award-winning graphic novel Icarus
“M Van Rhoon has created a mystery worthy of The Da Vinci Code or A Cabin In The Woods, set in worlds as intricate and compelling as anything to be found in Blade Runner or The Foundation Trilogy. This is an engaging and powerful story, written with strategy and skill by someone who knows how to create cliff-hangers that force a reader to turn the page… and then the next. The twin threads of the story may seem at first to bear no relationship to one another, but as Van Rhoon teases out his flawless plotlines, it becomes gradually evident that everything is linked to everything else, and that these chains of events are leading to an unavoidable and cataclysmic denouement. The Novus Quandary has a satisfying story arc, and works perfectly as a stand-alone sci-fi novel, but it definitely leaves the reader hoping for more.”
– Allan Frewin Jones, Author
Book 2 in the trilogy — The Rise of Cambria — has already been written and will be released in the near future, so you don’t have to wait long to continue the story!
Book 3 — Ghosts of Origin — is currently being written.
