Compulsively readable … This is the science-fiction epic I’ve always wanted to read. It’s nothing short of superb, and deserves every accolade it’s sure to get. Go and read it as soon as it comes out - you will not be disappointed – THEBOOKBAG on INFINITY GATE

Western and science fiction tropes collide to brilliant, fresh effect * KIRKUS *
A character you can’t forget in a lush, inventive world that expands past the wildest horizon! * David Wellington, author of the Arthur C. Clarke Award-nominated THE LAST ASTRONAUT *
Studded with wild worldbuilding details, this cinematic saga has nary a dull moment * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *
This is an SF western … And yet, that’s also a misleading simplification, because the frontier inhabited by Bess is a place where nothing is as it seems. Add in a split narrative involving dimension-hopping soldiers, animal-human creatures, a war conducted across the multiverse, and mysterious archaeological remains, and there’s much going on here. That it never seems too much, but rather the product of a brilliant imagination, is entirely to Carey’s credit. His best novel yet. * SFX *
