Critics Review

Socially conscious SF with a blistering thriller plot - Sci-Fi Now

As bloody minded about entertainment as it is about deep thoughts, and it’s all done with Robson’s characteristic verve. The plot is a zippy confection of double crosses and action scenes, and the dialogue is beautifully snappy. - SFX

The Glorious Angels is an outstanding piece of work that requires a lot from the reader. But what they receive in return is glorious indeed - Starburst Magazine

An intriguing tale of war, internecine politics and ancient technologies - The Financial Times

The Glorious Angels is an outstanding piece of work that requires a lot from the reader. But what they receive in return is glorious indeed - Starburst Magazine

An intriguing tale of war, internecine politics and ancient technologies [GLORIOUS ANGELS review] - The Financial Times

The work of a smart and sexy novelist having smart and sexy fun [KEEPING IT REAL review] - Locus

It’s a slow-burner of a novel, beautifully written, and Robson drip-feeds the world-building and the various plot-strands at a stately pace that picks up to become a taut thriller swimming in high concepts [GLORIOUS ANGELS] - Independent
