“Full of compelling characters and thick with tension, The Darwin Elevator delivers both despair and hope along with a gigantic dose of wonder. It's a brilliant debut, and from now on Hough can take my money whenever he writes anything.”
— Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles
“Hough's first novel combines the rapid-fire action and memorable characters associated with Joss Whedon's short-lived Firefly TV series with the accessibility and scientific acumen of [James S.A.] Corey's 'Expanse' series.”
— Library Journal (starred review)

— SF Signal
“The story unfolds with just the right balance of high adventure, espionage, humor, and emotional truth. As soon as you finish, you'll want more.”
— Analog
“How long must I wait for the sequel!?”
