'As well as being a masterful story, The Accord is a feat of daring and accomplished composition... Romantic, edgy, moving, tight and fast, The Accord is Keith Brooke on incandescent form... at his absolute best.'—Interzone

'"Jurassic and the Great Tree", with its brilliant and remorseless anthropological logic, resembles Michael Bishop at his best. But that's because it's well-argued anthropology, rather than well-copied Bishop.'
–Simon Ings, Foundation
'a dazzling work of the imagination.'
–SF Site, of Brooke's The Accord
"I am so here! Genetopia is a meditation on identity - what it means to be human and what it means to be you - and the necessity of change. It's also one heck of an adventure story. Snatch it up!"
–Michael Swanwick
"If Roald Dahl had written science fiction, he would have written this kind"
