J.S. DEWES

“Dewes (the Divide series) continues to demonstrate a gift for superior hard sci-fi with a standalone outing that is simultaneously thoughtful and pulse-pounding. ... Fans of smart military sci-fi will be riveted.”

Publishers Weekly

 

“This is a classic military science fiction novel that manages to build a fresh and forward-looking story about the costs of “forever” wars and the existential anxiety of artificial intelligence. Witty and readable, it features an endearing cast of characters and fast-paced action and will have broad appeal to fans of sci-fi beyond its MilSF genre.”

Library Journal

​

“The novel zips along nicely, and as military-flavoured science fiction goes, it’s astonishingly good. I am, alas, astonished by milSF that avoids the pitfalls of misogyny and US-style colonial conservative politics. Rubicon not only clears that bar but leaps above it, with strong prose and striking atmosphere also to its credit. … A hell of a fun ride.”

Locus Magazine

“What is grief if you can’t die? Rubicon seems like a standard space cadets versus monsters story. But while J. S. Dewes spins a fast-paced, popcorn movie tale, be prepared for a twist that will smack the popcorn out of your hand and leave it on the floor with your jaw.”

“Rubicon and the trauma in it feel terrifyingly real. I couldn't look away.”

Mary Robinette Kowal

Hugo-award winning author of the Lady Astronaut series

“Rubicon blew me away. Concept, characters, story, I loved it all. I can't wait to see where J.S. Dewes takes this world next!”

Nalini Singh

New York Times Bestselling author of the Psy-Changeling and Guild Hunter series

“Rubicon is non-stop military SF action with plenty of twists. I couldn't put it down. J.S. Dewes has entered the military SF arena and firmly planted her flag as one of the best in the business today. ”

Michael Mammay

author of The Misfit Soldier & the Planetside series

"A high-octane blend of fast action, fun characters, and deep questions. In Rubicon, not even death can set you free."

Megan O'Keefe

author of the Protectorate series
