“A thrill-a-minute, absolutely chilling tale of sci-fi horror, psychological warfare, and bioterrorism that will rivet readers looking for the kinds of scares delivered by authors such as Michael Crichton, Robin Cook, and Mira Grant, with a touch of Tom Clancy’s political thrillers.

VERDICT: This sequel is every bit as nail-bitingly compelling as Nayak’s debut, Symbiote, while the stakes are even higher.”

“Michael Nayak isn’t your typical sci-fi writer [...] When you read his “Ice Plague Wars” series, this firsthand experience will hit you like an icy blast.”

“Feels like “Aliens” [...] Plenty of action, moments of quiet tension and a cast of characters you’ll root for.

Nayak has leant his experience to the series, which adds extra substance and authenticity to the environment, the politics and the worldbuilding.”

“Sentient is every single bit as much of a WOW as the first book, Symbiote [...] sheer, compulsive, utterly chilling readability.”

“Intense, and one hell of a wild ride [...] Left me hungry for more.”

“Climactic scenes that felt World War Z level tense. Fast, bloody, and irresistibly good, this is one hell of a sequel that should be on every sci-fi/thriller reader’s TBR.”

“A ticking time bomb of a novel with an explosive, propulsive second half.
The pace is blistering and non-stop [...] SENTIENT is a thrilling, chilling, fast-paced contagion thriller. ”

“It’s a story of sensational proportions; espionage, violence and dark politics. SENTIENT shines a light on how power utilizes propaganda to cover up its nefarious acts [...] it doesn’t shy away from the implications of how easy it is to ignore the human in its calculations.

A series with huge potential [...] as gripping as they come.”
