edit data

Evan Couchot lives at the intersection of what we know and what we fear. From the quiet streets of Mason, Ohio, to the laboratories of Boston, his work is defined by a fascination with the natural world and the mechanics of life.

As a biotechnology professional with degrees in Biology and Biotechnology, Evan brings a high degree of technical realism to his fiction. His stories—spanning deep-space science fiction, folklore mystery, and pharmaceutical-themed thrillers—are rooted in a deep understanding of the living world. Evan currently lives and works in Boston, where the city’s history and innovation provide constant inspiration for his next mystery.

Cool book, a bit slow at times but that was probably necessary to build such a complex narrative. Nice nods to The Uplift Saga.

Maybe a biased review since I wrote the scientific introduction for this restored version, but this book is a great look at what could happen to society if humans achieve immortality. Fun, interesting, and quick read.

Evan Couchot liked Justin Couchot's review of Tumithak The Shelk-Slayer: The Crypsis Archive: Volume One: "Really excellent. A lot of older sci fi doesn't hold up that well to the modern stuff but this was a lot of fun. Really enjoyable and a super quick read."
