Reviews
“Atlas and the Winds is a deft end-of-the-world saga that is stuffed with gripping action, political upheaval, and heartbreaking realness. In the end, you cannot help but place yourself inside the scenario and wonder if you would do anything different.” – Zachry Wheeler, Author: The Immortal Wake
“… it’s a rare writer that can breathe new life into the “killer asteroid” premise and make it believable. (This story) offers that and much more to potential readers: relatable characters, tension, brisk pacing, political machinations, advanced technology, and a sprinkling of gut-wrenching disasters. The tense and at times disastrous narrative that evolves is equal parts grim and inspiring.” – Leland Lydecker, Author: Necrotic City

As I said elsewhere on this site, the two books that are the Atlas and the Winds Box Set were originally one massive story. Now in this format you can read it as it was originally intended. Based on reader feedback I’ve gotten over the years since I published the re-edited versions, this is how most people tend to read them anyway.
This story is easily over 300,000 words (more than most trilogies) so you should expect to settle in to a comfy chair and, if you react like most people, prepare to be uncomfortable for a fair while. These stories will hurl a person against the rails with more than a few turnarounds as the plot develops.
They are harder-edged science fiction so it does play humanity against the cold reality of an unforgiving universe. The science isn’t in your face though, its a backdrop and the terrain that the plot travels through. Of course, that always makes for a bumpy ride.
Another comment I get from readers is that these stories tend to keep a person up at night, at first turning pages furiously toward the end, and then wondering if this story isn’t dangerously close to the world we live in. Though I do have to admit that both of these results were my objectives when I wrote this story. So, when I hear that, I usually just nod and grin.
Mission accomplished.
