Reviews
“Tom Doyle blends an intricately re-envisioned history of America with
literary references, some bold, some sly, in this genre-bending
thriller. It’s a feat of craftsmanship to be celebrated!” Jacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of the Kushiel series.
“Tom
Doyle’s American Craftsmen is an exciting cross between dark urban
fantasy and special ops thrillers. I thoroughly enjoyed it.” Eric Flint, New York Times bestselling author of the Ring of Fire series.
“Tom
Doyle has taken every Sci-Fi Channel and Coast to Coast radio show
concept and incorporated them into a very entertaining novel. At first I
was startled to encounter so many themes, then I was drawn to admire
the skills he used to weave them together, and then I just sat back and
enjoyed the show. I also learned the truth about how Stonewall Jackson
was killed. Great fun.” Jerry Pournelle, New York Times bestselling author.
“Tom
Doyle’s American Craftsmen is a fast-moving and intriguing novel that
incorporates features of combat fantasy, special-operations, alternative
history, block ops, and even a touch of romance into a seamless action
tapestry offering a far richer read than most action adventures without
sacrificing either action or speed.” L.E. Modesitt, Jr.
“Tom
Doyle is an American Brother Grimm. It’s almost as if Edgar Alan Poe
and Philip K Dick teamed up to write a military action-thriller.”Nicole Galland, author of I, Iago and The Fool’s Tale.
“A
seamless blend of military SF and urban fantasy that had me riveted
from the get-go. Like so many hidden corners of America, Tom Doyle’s
imagination is a strange and marvelous place!” Jeri Smith-Ready, award-winning author of Wicked Game and Shade.
“From
his secret history of the Pentagon to his elaborate depiction of
ghostly power in the world around us, Doyle orchestrates a gritty,
believable novel. Plus, his craftsmen employ some kick-ass magic
tricks!” Mindy Klasky, author of The Girl’s Guide to Witchcraft and How Not to Make a Wish.
“The
story is poised at the junction of at least two genres–military
thrillers and urban fantasy. American Craftsmen is politically
sophisticated while still being a hot-blooded, quintessentially American
story.” Stephanie Dray, author of Lily of the Nile and Song of the Nile.
“Like
some mutant blend of Fringe and Tom Clancy, Doyle’s American Craftsmen
rides the urban fantasy wave in a whole new direction.” David J. Williams, author of The Mirrored Heavens and The Burning Skies.
