Praise for THE FLIGHT OF THE SILVERS "I could list the wonders of this new world for a while, but I'd rather let you discover them for yourself when you read the book. You should read this book! I loved The Flight of the Silvers. I found it very difficult to put it aside to deal with my own life…It really is an amazing book." SF Crow's Nest "A mind-bending work of science fiction, Flight of the Silvers pairs an excellently paced plot with well-written and fully realized characters. If you're new to the science fiction world, Daniel Price's chunkster might just be the book to draw you into the genre. It's really the characters that make Flight of the Silvers worth reading. Price took his time carefully constructing and molding each of the main characters. These people leap off the page, with all of their flaws and ugly bits; they're so incredibly realistic and three dimensional.


Even though they're not perfect, readers will enjoy getting to know each of these characters and understanding them. They are what carry the narrative; as the reader becomes emotionally invested in these characters, it becomes crucial that they survive their ordeals.This is a novel that will impress fans of science fiction, but the great characters will appeal to readers in all genres. You should absolutely plan on picking it up as soon as possible." -- S. Krishna's Books blog "VERDICT: This first volume in a planned trilogy is fascinating sf; Price''s ( Slick ) strong, engaging characters and fast-moving plot will keep readers on their toes. Highly recommended for fans of apocalyptic and dystopian fiction." Library Journal (Starred Review) "Daniel Price has given readers the first installment of what promises to be a well-wrought sci-fi saga, colored by intriguing ideas and complex characters adrift in a wonderfully weird world.


The Flight of the Silvers is thought-provoking, cinematic in scope…and very, very good." -- The Maine Edge "An absorbing adventure with a fresh take on both the parallel-universe and the paranormal subgenres. You''ll get pulled in." Kirkus (Starred Review) "Price deserves credit for creating immediately relatable characters whose motivations are understandable even when not so commendable. But he deserves out-and-out praise for doing so while constantly upping the temporal ante. The reader's uncertainty concerning the rules of this new world may well mirror that felt by the protagonists, but the shared confusion never ruins the immersion. As a result, any hours spent reading The Flight of the Silvers will be time well spent." --BookPage "In The Flight of the Silvers, Daniel Price's time-bending X-Men travel through an alternative America that is both alien and disturbingly familiar.


Fast-paced, poignant, and absorbing." -Emily Croy Barker, author of The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic "The cast is engaging (it includes a 16-year-old Australian boy, a girl who's been separated from her entire family, and an affable cartoonist), and the author has created an alternate-reality world that is both bewilderingly different and reassuringly familiar…. A highly imaginative exercise in world building that also features characters it's very easy to care about." - Booklist " The Flight of the Silvers is a fabulous piece of speculative fiction. Its opening chapter is completely captivating, introducing Amanda and Hannah in a way that is unforgettable… This is an intricately plotted novel and it is also a beautifully written one. Enjoyable wordplay including the creation of new words and the clever use of phrases make The Flight of the Silvers as intellectually engaging as it is fun…. It's a substantial book but a hugely enjoyable one and it is extremely difficult to put down. There is no doubt that in places it is bonkers.


It's impossible to tell what will happen next but whatever that thing is it will shock, horrify or delight. The air of foreboding is also chilling. All described and told with the lightest of touches and an exuberance." For Winter Nights blog "Wow! I was hooked from the first chapter. It isn''t usually the type of book I would read but I couldn''t put it down. I can''t wait for the sequel!" --Cassandra (Goodreads) "It''s like riding on a roller coaster during a thunderstorm at night, exhilarating and scary, where you have to trust that you''ll get taken safely to your destination even though you have no idea how…" -- Ysabelle (Goodreads) "This book was a roller coaster ride from the prologue and it was a prologue like nothing I''ve ever read….[It] has everything: Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Espionage, Drama, Romance, and it was all woven together so beautifully. Hard, hard, hard book to put down…" -- Pam (Goodreads) "Great characters and extraordinarily detailed world building make this a real page turner.


" --Clare (NetGalley) "I''ve grown quite attached to the Silvers and look forward to reading about what happens to them next. If you''re looking for an adventure that will leave you desperate for more, then this is the book for you." --Denise (NetGalley) "A great debut that is just crying out to be adapted to a movie or better yet, TV." --Elton (Goodreads) "I was taken to a place of wonder and intrigue and I would highly recommend stepping outside of the box to explore it yourself!" --Cassandra (Goodreads) "I really, really enjoyed this book… Price was able to create an entire new universe in this book and really developed the characters well….I was immediately sucked into the world he created and found myself thinking about the book constantly during the short periods when I had to put it down. I am hooked. Bring on book two!" --Carley (Goodreads).
