“A smart and fast-paced near future thriller, imbued with reflections on corporate power, emotional bonding and the philosophy of mind… Telling the Bees is cracking entertainment too… The book is a masterclass in concentrated storytelling.” – ParSec Magazine

“An enthralling and unnerving tale from a writer to watch.” – Gareth L. Powell

“A pacy and exciting tale of memory, love and what you’d do to protect what it means to be human. Recommended.” – Stewart Hotston
