PRAISE FOR MARTIN SKETCHLEY
I look forward to Sketchley developing this talent in future novels. As for The Affinity Trap, if you're a fan of neo-pulpish plots in a gritty far-future setting, you won't be disappointed.
Strange Horizons
Fresh, feisty and vigorous, plenty of twists and turns, gripping action.
Dreamwatch (UK)
Fast paced rousing stuff. An interesting debut promising better things to come.
SFX (UK)
In the best British sf tradition.
The Guardian (Jon Courtenay Grimwood)
Sketchley has delivered a novel with a strong sense of humanity, an engaging style, and the unmistakable sub-vocal hum of future potential.
Interzone
A fun blending of future SF, space opera, and societal SF. This was an entertaining, over-the-top story, from the beginning of the story to the powerful ending. Throughout, Sketchley drags Delgado through an emotional roller coaster of a ride and I can say I was happy to have had a seat on the ride.
SFFWorld
Let's hope for much more from him.
Starlog
...Gritty... Sketchley excels in depicting the futility of endless cultural conflicts.
