Editorial Reviews

Romantic Times Book Reviews - Keitha Hart
4 Stars! "Womack creates an action-packed, engrossing tale of revenge and redemption in the first book in his Cyclopean series. There are lush description of the 23rd-century, battle-scarred Earth and the invaders' home planets. It will transport you to another time and have you turning pages until the climactic finish." ~Keitha Hart for Romantic Times BOOKreviews
Fallen Angel Reviews - Amanda Fallen Angel Review
‘Steven Douglas Womack has brought to life an expansive novel that is filled with imagery and action. The writer’s style builds tension and allows readers to experience the story from a variety of perspectives. The characters are as diverse as the world Mr. Womack has created. Mr. Womack has done a great job capturing the emotions of both sides and portraying them to the reader. The insight into the Cyclopean world is especially menacing as the true threat to humanity is realized
Love Romance And More Reviews - Gina Love Romance
"Not once was this reviewer bored, indeed, putting the story down for even a moment was difficult because the story is so good. It was with total absorption and wanting to hold on to every word of every sentence this reviewer had at least one sleepless night. This is definitely a keeper and a 'do not miss' story. Any reader--male or female--and any age group, will find this an enjoyable story...."--Gina, Love Romances, a Reviewer's Choice Golden Rose Award Winner
Author website - Shawna Moore
“Though this story is a futuristic one, the individual themes explored in the book’s pages are pertinent in today’s society. Reaching your destiny despite setbacks. Banishing fear of change and allowing for the resultant self-growth. Embracing the fact that facing the unknown often leads to an inner peace. While reading this book, you will find yourself swept into an “otherworld” rife with problems and pitfalls. Steven Womack skillfully delivers a story many w
Author website - Arryn Heath
“The intricate story is filled with action and accessory characters who add background and drama. Most notable are the Cyclopeans, (who are embroiled in their own mishmash of power politics), and LM--the live computer that runs James Poole's ship. Her (James christened it female) involvement in the thrilling finale of this story is unexpected and it creatively entices the reader to the next Womack book. “ - Review by Arryn Heath, Science-Fiction author

    Great characters and story, and the themes of father and son rel

    Great characters and story, and the themes of father and son relationships, both human and Cyclopean, worked on so many levels. I especially loved the Cyclopean world and the Cyclopean characters. They were rich in layers of complexity. A grand adventure and an original science fiction work, outstanding, Mr. Womack!

    An Outstanding Science Fiction thriller!

    An exciting science fiction thriller within a story that draws you into the world of the many well-written characters! I especially enjoyed the aliens, those both evil and heroic, and discovering their world, motivations, and culture. The many father-son relationships within the story and how that drove many of the various characters was fascinating and original!
