Praise for Tearing the Sky
“In his thrilling new book, Tearing the Sky, Jamil Moledina boldly remakes the space opera for a new generation of hard SF disciples. Jamil’s writing has all the scope of Asimov, the technical depth of Bear, and a take on the human, and non-human, spirit that is uniquely his own.”
– Jesse Alexander, Emmy-winning writer & executive producer of the TV shows Lost, Heroes, and Alias
“Stimulating and provocative, writing for both sides of one’s mind, Jamil Moledina spins far-flung future history like a shimmering spider web in the sun. Through a fictional frame, Tearing the Sky reveals the next evolution of us – ever propelled forward into rational thought and artificial existence and yet struggling, still, with the stunning and emotional imperfections in being human.”
– John Gaeta, Oscar-winning special effects supervisor of The Matrix films
“When you read the first chapter of Tearing the Sky, you find yourself consumed; by the elegance of its settings, by the needs of its vividly identifiable characters, and by the wondrous belief that Jamil Moledina might just actually pull off a story that seems so impossibly grand in scope. When you read the last chapter, he has done so, and you find yourself in awe.”
– Christian Gossett, creator of The Red Star graphic novels
“I am one of the lucky few who has had a chance to read Tearing the Sky and I can tell you it is a visionary work, especially for a first time (but not the last time!) author. Jamil has crafted a unique story that is epic in scope, but intimate in approach.”
– Mark Long, creator of the Shrapnel and Blacklight graphic novels and games
“A fun, thought-provoking distant future on the brink of apocalypse, Jamil Moledina’s Tearing the Sky tickles the neurons with this holy war for the fate of the universe (and all its miniverses).”
– Nick Sagan, author of the novels Idlewild, Edenborn, and Everfree
“Tearing the Sky is a great read full of engaging characters, rollicking action, and more than a couple surprises, but where it really shines is in tackling deeper themes seldom approached in space operas. It’s a great balance of hard and soft sci-fi and a consummate page-turner to boot! I highly recommend it.”
– Greg Zeschuk, co-executive producer of the Mass Effect games
