WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT SOME ANIMALS
Early readers weigh in
The official launch is in two days, on the 14th, but I am very fortunate in that some trusted friends read preview copies and shared their thoughts.
Here’s what a few kind folks are saying about the novel:
"SOME ANIMALS is a non-stop sci-fi thrill ride that will keep you reading far into the night. Joshua Todd James fills the page with cinematic action scenes and snappy dialogue, all anchored by a compelling protagonist that reflects so much of who we are today."
Mike Nguyen Le (screenwriter/producer) PATIENT Z, DARK SUMMER, W.M.D
“SOME ANIMALS blew my mind. Joshua is the master of moralistic pathos. It’s a pathos steeped in a personal code of ethics in each of his characters. Joshua’s brilliance is in setting these characters careening down a track fueled by their pathos and the fun happens when characters with opposing drives collide in an action-packed train-wreck of ethics, desires, and dreams. Do. Not. Miss. This. Book.”
Ato Essandoh, actor (star of Netflix’s ALTERED CARBON, AWAY, Amazon’s TALES FROM THE LOOP, HBO’s VINYL, and many more.)
"Joshua Todd James delivers a one-of-a-kind Sci-Fi thrill ride. The depth of its characters and its world is remarkable, especially given how quickly it reads."
Nathan Graham Davis, author of MALICE AND MISTLETOE
“Doing noir as sci-fi is a real challenge and this ambitious book pulls it off!”
David Gerrold, Hugo & Nebula award-winning author of THE MARTIAN CHILD, HELLA, THE MAN WHO FOLDED HIMSELF
"I love sci-fi and I love hardboiled detective stories. This is both, but it's even more. Sci-fi has always been the best place to take on real-world issues, and Joshua Todd James takes on a lot of those in SOME ANIMALS. In this book, he serves up a strong cocktail, shaken from Chandler and Asimov, leaving me with the impression that someone just punched me in the face with a new cut of BLADE RUNNER."
Yuri Lowenthal, actor, MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN, NARUTO, BEN 10, RAVE MASTER, LEGION OF SUPERHEROES
“I started reading SOME ANIMALS at 7 AM and didn’t stop until I was finished. Joshua Todd James has created a vibrant, fiery futuristic world that we instantly believe in, and characters that hook us deep for this truly wild ride. But this is much more than a cracking good ‘Who done it?’ It’s a story that breaks both boundaries and stereotypes all along the way. Start reading. You won’t put it down.”
Naomi Wallace, playwright, screenwriter, and MacArthur Fellow (aka the Genius Grant)
“Joshua Todd James is a beautiful writer whose compelling, intelligent, and evocative sci-fi brings to mind the work of Isaac Asimov and Andy Weir. SOME ANIMALS weaves a propulsive plot that keeps you turning the pages with the themes that make for our finest speculative fiction—among them, what it means to be human. This exciting story is not one to be missed!”
Martin Aguilera, author and screenwriter, Netflix’s THE CRAVING
