Praise for Mike Martinez’s Daedalus series The Daedalus Incident “Martinez’s debut is a triumph of genre-blending, as steampunk adventure merges with modern space opera. With a cast of superbly drawn characters, Martinez’s title is a mesmerizing tale of two universes that briefly cross paths, leaving both worlds forever changed.” —Library Journal (STARRED review), included in Best Books 2013: Science Fiction/Fantasy roundup “Genre bending often comes at great peril, but Martinez pulls it off with an assurance that makes all the pieces slot together perfectly.”—BuzzFeed, selected as one of The 14 Greatest Science Fiction Books of the Year “A true genre-bender. It mixes alchemy, quantum physics, and historical figures in ways you haven’t seen before. . . . Adventurous, original, and a blast to read.”—Tor.com “An ambitious and fun romp.”—SFSignal “On a five-star scale, gets six. . . . One of the most enjoyable reads I’ve had all year.”—GeekDad “A thoroughly enjoyable, swashbuckling romp through worlds in which I would happily spend more time.” —Fantasy Faction “A clever blend of genres that builds to a fantastic, adventure-filled ending.”—Jason M. Hough, author of The Darwin Elevator
The Enceladus Crisis “Riveting . . . a uniquely imaginative science fantasy tale.”—Publishers Weekly “Continues the first novel’s mix of alchemy, intrigue, mystery, science fiction, and high adventure into an entertaining package.”—Paul Weimer, SFSignal “Wooden sailing ships battling it out in orbit around Mercury, Earth astronauts discovering an ancient alien temple on one of Saturn’s moons, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, undead French soldiers, Venusian jungles, and corporate espionage. Michael J. Martinez pulls it all off magnificently in his Daedalus series of novels.”—James Floyd Kelly, GeekDad “Blends 18th-century alchemy and 22nd-century interstellar travel, makes it all seem natural, and gives us a great adventure story to boot.”—Django Wexler, author of The Thousand Names
