Praise for Malefactor
“This is epic stuff, though it’s presented throughout on a very
personal level, with the weird interspecies pairings seeming
somehow natural in spite of everything. Odd but effective world
building in the grand fantasy manner.”
—The Toronto Star
“A deftly scripted and inherently fascinating dystopian novel . . .
[Malefactor] is essentially a romantic fantasy played out against
the background of a Post-Apocalyptic world.
—Midwest Book Review
“Repino continues to explore the themes of individual and societal
change. Each page is filled with questions of what change looks
like in a post-apocalyptic world, how it is unstoppable, and how we
do or do not accept it . . . For those who’ve been waiting for this
book, the action-packed, trial-ridden ending was worth the
wait. Malefactor is a satisfying ending to the saga.”
—Apex Magazine
“Malefactor is exactly the kind of finale any well-done series
might hope for. It’s a big, thought-inspiring mental meal and a
hair-raising roller coaster. It’s satisfying enough to leave you
happy and fulfilled, and good enough to make you wonder and hope
what else can happen in this world?”
—Narrative Species
“Malefactor is a riveting tale with a lot of amazing work put into
it . . . Highly recommended!”
—Nerd News Social
Praise for the War With No Name series
“Mort(e) is complex, beguiling, and often bloody . . . [An] utterly
absorbing debut.”
—The Boston Globe
“Mort(e) catapults the reader into a wild, apocalyptic world . . .
A strangely moving story.”
—The Washington Post
“Marvelously droll . . . This novel is all kinds of crazy, but it
wears its crazy so well.”
—Slate
“An epic science-fiction thriller . . . Mort(e) will stick with you
long after you close the pages.”
—Tor.com
“Read this novel and you will never look at your pet the same way
again.”
—Daniel H. Wilson, author of Robopocalypse and Robogenesis
"Repino crafts achingly real characters from housecats and doggies,
and gets you sympathizing with both sides of the in-equation. This
is a perfect example of the power of pulp, wild adventure for
domesticated humans."
—KQED Arts
"Fantastic . . . Well-drawn characters and emotional heft are
hallmarks of this unusual series about the power of myth, love, and
redemption in a dangerous time."
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
