A Story of Survival

If you’ve not picked up your copy of Colin Harvey’s Winter Song yet (and why not?), you may be tempted after reading the review over at Examiner.com.

The reader is thrown immediately into the action with a space fight that is over even before the main character, Karl Allman, knows it has begun. With his ship crippled, his onboard AI ejects him into an escape pod and sends him crash-landing to the nearest planet. This happens to be the icy world of Isheimur…

The main thing to know about Winter Song is that it isn’t a human vs. alien story, nor is it even a human vs. technology one. It is more human vs. environment. The ongoing struggle for survival in the bitter cold, the lack of food, the dangerous terrain…plus how all these harsh elements have shaped the people who have lived among them.

Winter Song is available at all good bookshops (online and real-world), and you can read the rest of the rather excellent review here.
