Praise for the Donovan novels:
“What a ride! Excitement, adventure, and intrigue, all told in W.
Michael Gear's vivid, compulsively readable prose. A terrific new
science-fiction series; Gear hits a home run right out of
the park and all the way to Capella.” —Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo
Award-winning author of Quantum Night
“A marginal colony on a living world--where human life and human
will are tested to the limits. An intriguing and
inventive new work from Michael Gear, first of a trilogy.
Recommended!” —C. J. Cherryh, Hugo Award-winning author
of Downbelow Station
“Gear kicks off a new sf series by weaving a number of compelling
characters into the narrative, including bold heroine Talina Perez
and Donovan itself, a planet teeming with danger and
delights in turn.... Fans of epic space opera, like Rachel
Bach’s Fortune’s Pawn (2013), will happily lose
themselves in Donovan’s orbit.” —Booklist
“W. Michael Gear creates a fun and colorful setting on a planet
full of interesting fauna and cunning, deadly animals.” —RT
Reviews
“Dark and gritty, this book shows both the best and worst sides of
humanity, all while being emotional and thought-provoking.”
—It Starts at Midnight
“It's not easy to create an entire new planet setting and to
immediately ground the reader in that world, but Gear makes it
look easy.... He strikes an impressive balance between only telling
us what we need to know when we need to know it and making this
feel like a fully-realized place from the get-go.” —Den of Geek
“The novel's prose is as razor-sharp as Donovan's toothy
beasts, its characters deftly defined. The enveloping narrative
gallops along at a fierce pace and will make Outpost one
of the must-read sci-fi releases of 2018 when it arrives on
February 20 from DAW Books.” —SyFy Wire
“A thrilling tale of high-stakes survival on an alien planet.”
—Dread Central
