At only 107 pages, it made for an easy and action-packed read that I finished in one sitting. For a short story, this one definitely packed a punch.

M.E. Tilburn liked Heather Strachan-Tilburn's review of Ten Billion to One (The Outlier Chronicles #1): "This book pulled me in straight away. It’s unusual for a short novel to immerse you in its world so quickly. I was desperate to read ahead and also terrified to see what might befall Anna and her daughter.
