“It’s unusual for a self-published book to get much attention, but Trevor is already getting well deserved praise from established authors and reviewers. Eternal Shadow is one of the best hard sf offerings to come out recently, and I’m looking forward to whatever he does to continue the series.” Science Fiction Books to Look for November 2019

Eternal Shadow reads like a Michael Crichton sci-fi thriller, as there is lots of tension building with the events in the book, but what I find just as fun is that the work and science is also done with the cast and those involved around the world… Eternal Shadow is a compelling read that balances the science well with the action.” 4.5/5 Stars.

“A stunning and far-reaching space thriller. The peripheral storylines and supporting characters, both good and bad, carry the plot along wonderfully, while the astronomically ambitious plan to save the planet makes perfect fodder for sci-fi futurist fans. The writing is precise, yet flexible, giving every scene an important sense of authenticity. Williams has delivered a unique and unpredictable titan of a novel, a bold launchpad for his Fall of Gods series.” 4.5/5 Stars. Full Review
