It's exciting, thought-provoking, and ultimately shocking in both scope and plotting. It's the opening gambit in a trilogy that spans decades and promises much more to come. I'm in for the ride to the very end!" --James Rollins "An extraordinary twist on the space race and a paean to what smart, strong women can accomplish. I'm always over the moon for Neuvel's stories!"--Delilah S. Dawson "Sylvain Neuvel proves once again he deserves the title of the hottest new SF writer of the 21st century -- and this time he does it by looking back at the storied development of rocketry in the 20th. Clever and compelling, with a succession of kick-ass heroines propelling events along via mayhem and murder behind the scenes, A History of What Comes Next blasts off on page one and will keep you enthralled until the end."--Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of The Oppenheimer Alternative More Praise for Sylvain Neuvel: "Thought-provoking and disturbing.

A cautionary tale illuminated with dark enlightenment."-- Kirkus Reviews , starred review, on The Test "As high-concept as it is, Sleeping Giants is a thriller through and through. Not only is Sleeping Giants one of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory, it's a smart demonstration of how science fiction can honor its traditions and reverse-engineer them at the same time." --NPR "But the most surprising thing about the book may just be how compelling the central characters are in the midst of these larger-than-life concepts. I can't stop thinking about it." -- The Chicago Review of Books "Reminiscent of The Martian and World War Z , Sleeping Giants is a luminous conspiracy yarn that shoots for (and lands among) the stars." --Pierce Brown.
