Praise for Eat to Sleep

Bannister's a fresh, vivid and inventive voice, and Creation Machine's epic roller-coaster gives modern space opera a much-needed shot in the arm. The scale is Cinemascope, but he keeps a clear and intelligent focus on his characters, settings and ideas.

IAN R. MACLEOD

I really enjoyed Creation Machine: fast-paced, intelligent SF, action-packed and immersive.

ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY, author of Children of Time

An excellent read that ticked the boxes for me. Augmented humans up to and including one as a cloud of nanomachines, Banksian drones and cruel politics. Grotesque and interesting alien life, and characters I cared about - all written in an engaging style.

NEAL ASHER

A thrilling debut . . . delivers in spades everything I'm looking for in a Space Opera - imaginative settings, strange aliens, an arsenal of unusual weapons, and, most of all, characters I like and who I want to know what happens to them. This is a book that is fast-paced and stylish, but not one where its literary merits outweigh its sheer enthusiasm and sense of enjoyment . . . It reminded me of the first Peter F. Hamilton I read in its sense of epic-ness, or the first Iain (M.) Banks I read in its intelligent plotting and its sense of humour . . . I can't recommend this one highly enough . . . should be a monster.

Mark Yon, SFFWORLD

Debut novelist Andrew Bannister comes to the genre with his talents fully formed in the ambitious, compulsively readable Creation Machine . . . [it] has everything: intriguing far-future societies, exotic extra-terrestrial races, artificial galaxies and alien machines dormant for millions of years. Bannister holds it all together with enviable aplomb.

Eric Brown, GUARDIAN

Bannister's exemplary world building brings a sense of awe to Creation Machine - you can't help but marvel at his descriptive prowess . . . a beautiful space opera.

SCiFiNOW

Great action, surprisingly morbid humour and great characters . . . enjoyable and accessible.

SFBOOKREVIEWS

Balancing bursts of action with expansive world-building, immersive prose and sharp dialogue, Bannister has written a colourful debut that conjures up the same kind of gnarly, lurid weirdness that made Iain M. Banks' SF epics so memorable.

SFX

A spectacular plunge into the deep end of wide-screen space opera . . . such an engaging novel with a good plot, plenty of sense-of-wonder, style and brio propelling matters . . . with Creation Machine we could be witnessing the birth of a new star in the SFnal firmament. Sun glasses please, we are in The Spin.

CONCATENATION.ORG

If you enjoy fast-moving adventures set on strange planets and involving alien species, inventive technology, heroic class warriors, Machiavellian politics - and heavy drinking in space bars - you will welcome this new British writer with open arms. And, if you do, you'll be pleased to hear that a sequel, set 10,000 years later, is due out any day.
