Praise for the Foundry Series:
"...the many alien species are creatively imagined and the high-tech swashbuckling is suspenseful fun. An enjoyable coming-of-age SF action tale that builds to a satisfying conclusion." - Kirkus Reviews - Full Review
“"The Foundry" is a fantastic book that I definitely recommend. Mauldin's story-telling is superb and he has a way of hinting and teasing at what is happening to create some mystery without leaving you lost. The characters are well developed and consistent, and the world-building is rich and deeply imagined. If you are wondering if taking the chance with your hard-earned dollars on this book is worth it, the answer is an emphatic "yes!"“. - JJ Clayborn, author of "The Fall", "Skin Deep", and "Starsong Chronicles".
“The world built in this book is so big and rich, and at the same time it's made so accessible that I can't wait learn more about it! I found myself being pulled into Milo's adventure at every turn, wanting to know what was going to happen next. I'm excited for the sequel!” - Amazon Customer
“This book was recommended to me by one of my friends. I had never heard of this author before and didn't go in with any expectations. Little did I know this would be one of my top favorites of the year. Written in the vein of authors like Alastair Reynolds and Adrian Tchaikovsky, the Foundry is an exciting, memorable adventure into the deep unknowns of the universe. Loaded with wonder, action, great characters, and big ideas that make you stop and think. If this sounds interesting to you, give it a go.” - Kindle Customer
“Chasing the Signal packs a lot into a short space. Fast paced and with a moving family drama at its heart, we are introduced to three generation of one family, 10 year old Bellamy, her bitter and abusive mother Grace, and her grandfather who has takes them with him on an interstellar journey to chase an alien signal. Relationships are strained and Bellamy is forced to take charge when their ship comes under attack in deep space. Really enjoyed the production and the story could have easily been expanded to a full length novel. I would recommend to those that like space adventure stories with strong human element… “ - Andrew Taylor (Chasing the Signal, Audible Edition)
“This sci-fi short story was unlike any sci-fi I’ve seen yet. Imaginative technology mixed with family drama and a narrow escape. It was a fun listen. I want to see more in this universe, explore all the races, cultures, and technology!” - Sarah Queen (Chasing the Signal, Audible Edition)
