Praise for MORT(E) An io9 Very Best Science Fiction And Fantasy Book Of 2015 A February 2015 Indie Next List Selection An Amazon Best Book of January 2015 An IndieBound January 2015 Bestseller "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 . . . [Mort(e)’s] journey, set against the backdrop of an ideological war between pure rationality and mysticism, makes for a strangely moving story.” —The Washington Post “With poignant flashes of a morality tale, this debut novel makes us rethink our relationship to all of Earth’s creatures (since they may someday turn on us).” —Time Out New York "Marvelously droll . . . This novel is all kinds of crazy, but it wears its crazy so well." —Slate “Mort(e) is funny, smart, well-written; it’s already among the better debuts of the year.” —Flavorwire “[A] first novel of notable depth and invention.” —Las Vegas Weekly “[N]ot your ordinary kitty…” —Ft.

[T]hought-provoking and tragedy-laden . . . Completely poignant and satisfying.” —Barnes & Noble Review “[A] delightful mix of alien invasion and Orwellian parable.” —KQED.org "This is a wonderful book . . . ambitious, unusual, unclassifiable." —Barnes & Noble Science Fiction and Fantasy Blog "This is science fiction at its best. Repino gives us a wild, imaginative and wholly original tale without any trace of sugar-coating. He takes our current war-addled, religion-dominated, decidedly divided society to task." —LitReactor "Repino has a knack for seeing life through non-human eyes." —Open Letters Monthly “Absolutely incredible . . . The apocalypse has never, ever been this entertaining." —BookRiot "We get all the genres on the color wheel mixed together, but instead of producing a single black, we get a brilliant prism of varying hues and saturation." —Pixelated "This is the brilliance of Mort(e) as a novel.
