Reviews for Ctrl+Break
"A disturbingly realistic novel that never loses heart and refuses to cede its soul. Every page, every conversation has a critical function and no opportunity is wasted to deliver thought-provoking commentary..." (Indies Today)
"S.D. Miller demonstrates extraordinary world-building skills that leap from the very first page of this brilliant story, creating a dystopian environment that feels original, imaginative, and also uncomfortably familiar given some of the darker aspects of current world affairs." (Readers' Favorite)
"If you, reading this review, are a fan of the cyberpunk genre, you have to read this book as soon as you can.
The characters are packed with distinctive features, both physical and psychological and is difficult, dare I say impossible, to not fall in love with all of them one way or another." (Matteo Calignano- Goodreads)
"Power games between the rich and powerful are the subject of this book. Espionage operations, mysterious killers, and mercenaries who will do anything for money feature prominently. Adding to the tension are terrifying cyborg soldiers with a thirst for revenge.
A dark and gritty science fiction apocalyptic story with many twists and turns makes the story even more intriguing. An exciting and action-packed story for fans of science fiction political thrillers and mysterious underground societies. " (Bozena-Goodreads)
Reviews for Ctrl+Alt
"Breakneck action and the plot’s many twists are balanced with philosophical depth and a natural but smart exploration of freedom, identity, and control in a tech-dominated world. It’s chilling to think how close some of these realities and horrors are to our own world, and Miller pens what could have been dry, tech-focused scenes with all the cinematic intensity they deserve. This also keeps readers guessing with twists that feel both shocking and earned, proof that cyberpunk can still surprise, dazzle, and make you think with your heart in your throat." (Indies Today)
"If you love Cyberpunk, fantasy and a lot of actions these is series is perfect for you. The author did an amazing job in the first book explaining the city and all the politics behind that, and in this second one we get to see even closer how people in that situation can act. Penny is still my favorite character, I absolutely adore her, and in this book I got the chance to love her even more." (Lisa Cavola-Goodreads)
"The novel has so many twists and turns. There is deception, back stabbing, brutal murders, and loss. The novels gritty landscape is heightened by S.D. Miller's fantastic character building and complex motivations for each character. The final climactic battle ends with a revelation and loss of loved ones. Each page leading up to the climactic final chapters left me on the edge of my seat." (Michael Joseph Smith-Amazon Review)
"I absolutely love both Shuang and Metalfist. I really really want to see the full potential of their gory creepfest. Like, terrify me with the guys please Miller, I want more more more of the metal/bone gal and weird organic AI monstrosity." (Shona_reads_in_Devon-Goodreads Review)
