I'm working on a standalone SF at the moment, hoping to get it finished by the end of September. I've also written a big space opera unrelated to the Amaranthine books that was a bit too weird for the publishers - it had no human characters at all, which was probably a bad idea - so I have no idea when/if that'll ever see the light of day. Aside from the SF I've been writing horror novels under a different name, one of which is on submission now. (less)

Tom’s Recent Updates

Tom Toner added a status update: Hey Goodreads, in case any fans of my Amaranthine Spectrum series didn't know, I have a new book out (under my interdimensional pen name Caspar Geon) called the Immeasurable Heaven. The book's had some nice reviews so far, and it was a hell of a lot of fun to write. Will update a bit more regularly (more than once every ten years), hopefully with some more news on even newer books very soon.

The Immeasurable Heaven by Caspar Geon
"This book is a shotgun blast of ideas, a kinetic assault of imagination directed straight at the reader's face.

For starters, there are no human characters. None. No hairless Earth apes at all. Every viewpoint, every culture, every technology is from" Read more of this review »

The Immeasurable Heaven by Caspar Geon
"When I was offered an ARC for this, I was frankly hooked by "non-human PoVs" and that was about all it took. But when I actually read it, what I found was something I've been frankly STARVING for: far-future, rich, high-tech alienish peoples and cult" Read more of this review »

message 2: by Tom

Tom Toner Hey Goodreads, I've been a bit of a ghostly presence on here, but in case any fans of my Amaranthine Spectrum series didn't know, I have a new book just published (under my interdimensional pen name Caspar Geon) called the Immeasurable Heaven. It's set in a distant galaxy three billion years ago and features a completely inhuman cast of characters. The book's had some nice reviews so far, and it was a hell of a lot of fun to write. Will update a bit more regularly from now on (i.e more than once every ten years), hopefully with some more news on even newer books very soon.

Early praise for the Immeasurable Heaven:

''an absolutely wild ride through a formidably original universe, filled with the bizarre and phantasmagorical'' - Adrian Tchaikovsky

''one of the widest canvases I've ever read in an SFF novel'' - Nerds of a Feather

"a groundbreaking, headlong rush through realities, space and time. It's been some time since a book involved my mind as much as my heart'" - Catriona Ward

''startling and unpredictable... a wordsmith without peer'' - Locus

''fearlessly creative, wildly imaginative, and wholly satisfying" - Gareth L. Powell

''a stunning ode to the weirdness living inside us... to say this book is inventive is like saying the Mona Lisa is a portrait. It's true, but it doesn't really scratch the surface'' - FanFiAddict

''wildly, explosively imaginative... a feast of a book: among the most original science fiction I've read in years" - Stark Holborn

''easily the most exciting and significant SF imagination since Iain M. Banks" - Jon Wallace

''a truly exceptional piece of SF... the intrigue, character, humour, plot, worldbuilding and sheer breadth of imagination make this the best and most original book I've read in years'' - Edward Cox


William Tom, Thank you for the friendship!

I very much enjoyed your first book; and I hope soon to get around to reading more


Regards,
William
