About the author

Gary Gibson's first novel, Angel Stations, was published in 2004. Interzone called it "dense and involving, puzzling and perplexing. It's unabashed science fiction, with an almost "Golden Age" feel to it ..."

His second novel was Against Gravity in 2005; the Guardian described it as "building on current trends to produce a convincing picture of the world in 2096."

Stealing Light was first published in 2007, and garnered a wide range of positive reviews. The London Times called it: "A violent, inventive, relentlessly gripping adventure ... intelligently written and thought-provoking".

Stealing Light is the first volume in a four-book space opera, the final volume of which, Marauder, was published in 2013.

To date, Gary has written ten novels, most recently Extinction Game and its sequel, Survival Game.

Reviews

[Marilyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

This novel was a good conclusion to the trilogy, even though I definitely liked 1-2 a bit more. My main gripes were that I sometimes felt a bit loss with who each characters were. I would also forget parts of the first books and then had a hard time catching up. I think 1-2 had a bit more surprises with the plot and this felt a bit more like tying a nice little bow for all the loose ends.

It was overall a satisfying read and I still really love Keira. I appreciated the epilogue and enjoyed Amit's conclusion.
