The Harvest Tide Project Reviews

'One of those rare gems that are perfect for every age group.'

-- Evening Echo * Evening Echo *

'Depicts .. The world of Braskia, where shape-changing teenage heroes get embroiled in a variets of adventures. The substantial plot involves a number of strands, and there's a crucial science fiction dimension. Its humour will appeal to boy readers particularly.'

-- Celia Keenan - The Sunday Independent * The Sunday Independent *

'some wonderfully weird secondary characters.'

-- The Irish Times * The Irish Times *

'I would definitely recommend this book to other readers, as it is a spectacular tale, full of adventure and magic. Because of its fast-moving plot and straightforward style, I think this book is suitable for 10 to 15 year olds.

-- Mark Treacy, 16 - Evening Echo * Evening Echo *

'Original, exciting and richly imaginative, a refreshing departure from the beaten track of mainstream fantasy'

-- Publishing News

'An action-packed series of entrapments and escapes, successes and setbacks ... populated by a seemingly endless cast of divertingly weird creatures.'

-- Books for Keeps

An immensely accomplished and completely original fast-paced action fantasy. This is a story you hope will never end.

-- Pat Boran and Siobhan Parkinson

Unexplained death and secret projects; kidnapping, murder and conspiracy. It all sounds a lot like the X-Files, but this is not Washington DC, but a fantasy world where the sea is formed not of water, but of a heavy, suffocating gas. An involving little fantasy in a world of monsters, diesel engines and shapeshifters. If the writing does not attain the heady heights, it is of a standard with JK Rowling and the story and setting are original and intriguing. The shapeshifting abilities of the central characters are truly unique; instead of merely changing form, the Myunan actually sculpt their flesh using tools.
The Harvest Tide Project is an entertaining fantasy for the Harry Potter set. It is a very different kind of fantasy novel, but pitched for the same age range and reading ability.
