PRAISE FOR THE JON & LOBO SERIES
One Jump Ahead
“Just when I was thinking science fiction might be over, Mark Van Name proves that there are still smart, exciting, emotional sci-fi stories to be told . . . In Jon Moore, Van Name has created a hero who is worth at least a dozen more novels. I want this to be a series. I want to read a new one every year. More often would be nice.”
—Orson Scott Card
“. . . a page-turner. . . because Moore’s struggle to be an honorable and human person in a brutal universe is genuinely compelling.”
—Charlie Jane Anders, io9.com
Slanted Jack
“Van Name’s flair for witty dialogue, breakneck pacing and nonstop action . . . . make this high-powered sequel . . . an undeniable page-turner.”
—Publishers Weekly
Overthrowing Heaven
“Highly, highly recommended; fun, great heroes, great action, but heartbreak and tragedy too . . .” —Fantasy Book Critic
Children No More
“. . . powered by breakneck pacing and military-nuanced action and adventure . . . [a] cerebral—and enriching—
read.”
—Publishers Weekly
No Going Back
". . . one of my highly recomended novels of 2012
.”
