REVIEWS: The Rising Tide

The Rising Tide

The reviews are rolling in. 🙂 Got a great five star review from Melanie at “Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words”: “There are moments when I wept, pages of high anxiety and suspense, times when I went as limp as a noodle when momentarily the action went slack, and yes, sniffled again when it all came back together in an astonishing climax! What a wild narrative ride this was! I loved every word of it.” Got another great four and a half star one from Pixie at “MM Good Reads”: “This is an amazing story, the world building, the character story … Read more

Five Star Review for The Stark Divide

Erin O'Connor

Just got a great five star review for “The Stark Divide” from Erin O’Quinn:   “I cannot begin to describe the lush detail, the mind-blowing invention, the beauty and uniqueness of Coatsworth’s world. Every paragraph is rich and delicious as red velvet cake, hard and believable as “Ship’s Bone.” From the interplanetary ships that eat and breathe solar wind and space dust…to the Dragons Reach mountains and the Far Hold… this world unfolds with infinite variety.” Wow. 🙂 See the full review here Buy Links: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074G2NJP6 Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/2J78Dbz Kobo: https://bit.ly/2LWnSSp DSPP (Publisher): https://bit.ly/2FgBByQ

Great Review for “The Stark Divide”

Ryane Chatman Review - The Stark Divide

Just got a fabulous review for “The Stark Divide” from Ryane Chatman:   Mr. Coatsworth continues to delight me with each book he writes. I am whisked off to reaches unknown, or reminded of places I’d like to see. He spins tales of longing, despair, faith (not always in the religious sense), and hope. Hope being the key feature of all of his stories. Hope keeps you young. Faith keeps you believing in hope. These are lessons we forget or we become too cynical to carry….   See the full review here: https://www.thornsandink.com/single-post/2018/02/01/The-Stark-Divide-Liminal-Sky-Book-One Get it now: DSP Publications (paperback): https://www.dsppublications.com/books/the-stark-divide-by-j-scott-coatsworth-416-b DSP … Read more

REVIEW: The Stark Divide – Five Stars

The Stark Divide - Xtreme Delusins

Just got a fantastic review for “The Stark Divide” from Xtreme Delusions. “I was kept on the figurative edge of my seat much of the time while reading this and had to force myself to put it down at 5 a.m. at one point so that I could be at least partially functional when meeting with friends later that day.” Authors love this sort of praise. 😛 http://www.xtreme-delusions.com/2018/01/13/review-the-stark-divide-by-j-scott-coatsworth/ Get it now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074G2NJP6/

REVIEW: The Stark Divide – Sci Fi Pulse

The Stark Divide - SciFi Pulse

What an awesome review for The Stark Divide from Patrick at Sci Fi Pulse: A science fiction novel with a classic premise that delivers drama, action, technology, and heart. I haven’t felt this way after reading a sci-fi book since reading an Asimov or Heinlein novel. Coatsworth is to be congratulated for capturing the spirit of those writers and creating a new tale that will make readers look to the starts. Overall grade: A OMG, I am literally speechless to be mentioned in the same breath as Asimov and Heinlein. 😀 Read the full review here:http://www.scifipulse.net/in-review-the-stark-divide/ And order the book … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Worlds That Never Were

Forever

Hey all, This week I am bouncing between edits for “Lander”, from my Oberon Cycle trilogy, and beta reads for “The Rising Tide”, in my Liminal Sky series. Both involve interesting worlds that are almost characters in and of themselves. 🙂 Forever, in Liminal Sky, is an O’Neill Cylinder. From Wikipedia: “…a space settlement design proposed by American physicist Gerard K. O’Neill in his 1976 book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space.[1] O’Neill proposed the colonization of space for the 21st century, using materials extracted from the Moon and later from asteroids.” But I’ve had a hard time finding art … Read more
