It’s been a crazy busy time…I’ve spent all today planning a war in the Middle East, trying to decide whether I should invade Syria in my first wave of attacks or leave it till later. More on that – anon – it connects up to my current project, a radio drama about military wargames. Recently I spent a day at a top secret location being briefed by an Army boffin…I even got to go inside a tank. And my days are spent reading about Hezbollah and Mossad and the like.
Whilst all this has been happening, blow me, people have been reviewing HELL SHIP rather nicely. Orbit have collected some of the reviews which you can read here. Embarrassingly, I’ve been too busy to read my own crits so most of these comments came as a complete surprise to me.
Some previous reviews which I did manage to read can be found below:
First, a FAB review of Hell Ship from the New York Journal of Books
And an equally enthusiastic review from Erik Lundqvist, who I met at a signing session at Forbidden Planet. His blog has the ace name of ‘I Will Read Books’.

Hell Ship rocked – downloaded it on the Kindle after a short but glowing review in the Guardian. One of the most enjoyable new SF novels I’ve read this century. Keep them coming!
Can’t wait to get stuck in to the rest of your ouevre.
Thanks so much Doug!
Hi, I know I already said this on Twitter but I loved Hellaship, thank you for writing it. I have now forgiven you for Sai-ias :p
Urgh, sorry, typo, should be Hellship!!
Thank you for your forgivenness….and I do love Hellaship as a title! Wish I’d thought of it…
After reading Version 43 and loving it I was eager to read more. Hell Ship was my next choice and again I was thrilled at the sheer number of ideas flying off the pages. You have an amazing ability to make the science part of the science fiction makes sense and endlessly readable.
