-Exploring the intergalactic consequences for humanity's cutting-edge science, and hubris, The Return is fast-paced science-fiction thriller that's as easy to read as it is intelligent. Highly recommended.- --Jeremy Robinson, international bestselling author of Island 731 and Project Nemesis-The Return is a great book with a fascinating premise. I couldn't wait to see what happened next!- --Chris Kuzneski, New York Times bestselling author of The Hunters-The Return is as intelligent as it is thrilling. Helmreich is a masterful storyteller, weaving a surreal and convincing tale of speculative fiction reminiscent of Ursula K. Le Guin. Whole worlds are built and taken apart before our eyes, and yet the writing remains achingly human, authentically touching. A stunning first novel.- --Joshua Gaylord, author of When We Were Animals-This intelligent thriller comes with a fast-moving plot.- --Kirkus Reviews-Helmreich combines just enough science with thrilling action to keep the reader hooked on this story...- --Booklist-The Return dazzles with a deceptively simple premise that houses a complex, tricky suite of revelations.- --The B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog
