"Ashton offers a technothriller with heart that will appeal to fans of the 'Murderbot Diaries' from Martha Wells but also to readers looking for more AI-led stories like Day Zero by C. Robert Cargill and Emergent Properties by Aimee Ogden." --Library Journal, starred review "Ashton's vision of the future feels all too plausible and his blend of action and humor keeps the pages flying. This is sure to please the author's fans." -- Publishers Weekly "A funny, fast-paced, fish-out-of-water tale that should satisfy Ashton's growing fan base." --Booklist Praise for Mickey7 : "Sci-fi readers will be drawn in by the inventive premise and stick around for the plucky narrator." --Publishers Weekly "Mickey7 is a smart philosophical satire masquerading as an adventure novel." -- New York Journal of Books "The fun [in reading Mickey7 ] is trying to keep up with Mr.

Ashton's twists and turns, and the extra fun is that you never do." -- The Wall Street Journal.
