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)
