FTL Hell ] "Berry writes enormously fun books. She has a talent for action, demonstrated several times over… Fast, compelling, compassionate, and entertaining as all hell." – Locus Magazine "Berry’s follow-up to Space Unicorn Blues is just as zany and inexplicably touching as her first novel." – Amazon Book Reviews “Five Unicorn Flush is a perfect blend of space opera and high fantasy and includes an incredibly diverse cast of mythological features, from centaurs and unicorns to dryads and dwarves.” – The New York Journal of Books " Five Unicorn Flush proves that Space Unicorn Blues wasn’t a one-off success. Fast, compelling, compassionate, and entertaining as all hell, Five Unicorn Flush is a worthy successor. " – Locus Magazine Praise for Space Unicorn Blues “Pure wish fulfilment. That is... assuming you wish to be a down-on-his-luck, half-unicorn space rogue, struggling to reclaim his starship and find his lost horn against an army of human oppressors who hold all the cards.” – G S Denning , author of the Warlock Holmes series “It was a fun read with an entirely unique concept on a mashup of scifi and fantasy. The spin on the Bala being the key to the expansion of humankind - which then allowed humankind to subjugate the Bala - is the kind of sweet irony that mankind has displayed thousands of times over its history. It was a reminder that not all stories about unicorns have to have them spewing rainbows out of their asses, because sentience, no matter the form, always seems to bring about its own flavor of brutality. I never knew fairies and unicorns could be so dark. The book throws aside so many tropes and just does whatever the fuck it wants, inventing an entirely new world with new rules, and I am always in support of that.” – Joe Zieja , author of the Epic Failure trilogy “Shut your brain off and go along for the wild ride... Berry deftly creates a diverse and representative universe full of all kinds of magical creatures and humans, a strange, wacky world.” – LA Times “Raucous space opera... Berry portrays the emotions powering bigotry with frightening accuracy in a novel that combines the best elements of mythological fantasy and space opera into a thrilling quest with deep shadows.” – Publishers Weekly “An energetic book that starts at high velocity and never lets up. Reading it is one of those “just one more chapter” experiences.” – Tor.com “This delightfully weird science fantasy is a perfect escape read.” – Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog “Flawless... another must-read from Angry Robot.” – The Fantasy Inn “This story was wonderfully well written, and it was paced really well. There was always something going on that made it hard to put down, and so I ended up reading it much faster than I anticipated. Well into the wee hours of the night, and well past the end of my lunch break at work.” – Superstar Drifter “Pick up a copy of Space Unicorn Blues for the strangest read all summer, but be warned that it’s pretty immersive. Everything about Space Unicorn Blues feels incredibly well-built and solid. It’s a delight for space opera junkies.” – The Game of Nerds “This book, THIS book, THIS BOOK. What do you get when you cross Star Trek with Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, a splash of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and any three of your favorite fantasy series? You get Space Unicorn Blues . Humorous and fun with a splash of commentary on human nature. You will LOVE these characters and hate these characters. I cheered and sobbed (literally) while reading about the aftermath of a war between humans and magical creatures (in space!)” – Ouroboros Freelance TJ BERRY grew up between Repulse Bay, Hong Kong and the New Jersey shore.
