Praise for his writing: "Age Of Scorpio announces loud and clear that in Gavin Smith an exceptional talent has arrived to uplift SF. The book is a master class of twisting plot lines that celebrate both the weird and astounding, amid a future that's deeply unnerving yet equally compelling." (Peter F Hamilton) "Gavin Smith's writing is a brutal kaleidoscope of imagination, with the raw energy of a heavy metal album cover: equally dazzling with bloodthirsty ancient Picts and the fallen post-humans of tomorrow." (Hannu Rajaniemi, author of The Causal Angel) "Brutatlity, mind-expanding concepts, imaginative aliens and provocative themes..." (SFX) "Gavin Smith changes the rules of engagement." (Stephen Baxter)
