"Once begun, [Redspace Rising] will grip you by the throat-like its soldier protagonist grips his many enemies-and compel you to read it all the way to its jubilant, battered conclusion. And you'll be very grateful." -- Locus Magazine "Redspace Rising is Brian Trent's intelligent, action-packed science fiction thriller set in a universe where human memory is a tangible commodity which can upend the permanence of death itself. From its well-developed cast of characters to its innovative worldbuilding and intriguing plot, Brian Trent has crafted an ingenious masterpiece of military sci-fi." -- Grimdark Magazine "Trent works in some thought-provoking speculation on the pliability of identity and technology's ability to change human nature [...] It harkens back to pulp-era SF, and as such will most please readers seeking anything-goes action." -- Publisher's Weekly -- Publisher's Weekly PRAISE FOR BRIAN TRENT: "Brian Trent is one of our very best new writers and now's the time to start reading him." - Robert J.
