*Fantasy Book Review*
Down Station is a fun and interesting read which I zipped through
in no time at all!
*Books By Proxy*
The world is an interesting and well realised one. The central
characters are believable and feel entirely human (though I would
like to see more of the supporting cast in the sequel). The plot
rattles along nicely, and kept me enthralled to the last page
*Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews*
Once again Simon Morden takes the fantasy genre and moulds it
wonderfully...What makes Down Station so great is the immaculate
pacing and the way character shapes fate for each of the well-drawn
main characters
*The Sun*
It's the character's experiences that make this a fresh take on the
"cut off from civilisation" subgenre...we're drawn in by their
responses to this world
*SFX*
there are horrors that surprise as well as moments of wonder. The
story is patient, and every sequence is both a physical battle and
philosophical teaching that merge with well-placed hooks
*Sci-Fi Now*
amazingly original mindblowing ideas that completely rewrote and
reconfigured a familiar London into something much more sinister
and post-apocalyptic.
*The Digital Fix*
This is an interesting read with a great new world to immerse
yourself in, it is fantastical and thrilling, a great book to add
to your fantasy/sci-fi shelf.

fair while and I doubt I'll forget it.
*For Winter's Nights*
an engaging story
*The Daily Mail*
an exiting adventure, full of fine writing

This is a story about finding acceptance within yourself so that
you can locate the strength to become who you need to be. Morden
has written a book full of mysteries that are just waiting to be
discovered.
*Fantasy Book Review*
The story is patient, and every sequence is both a physical battle
