February 13, 2018 by scott

It’s release day for “Lander,” and the reviews are starting to come in. I’m thrilled!” “I’m not sure I can do justice to this book with a mere review, but I’ll try.

REVIEW: Skythane

February 10, 2018 by scott

Just got a fantastic review of Skythane from Jayne at WROTE Podcast: Having read The Stark Divide, I was already confident in this author’s world-building technique and ability to tell a rip-roaring tale. Skythane is the story of Xander and Jameson, ostensibly on a mission to find supplies of pith (a mind-altering drug) but they find themselves at the centre of a race to save the planet from destruction… I loved the way the way every creature, every fruit, plant, the technology, the weather, food cooking methods, the weaponry, the transport, the cities, religious structure, every little thing has been … Read more

Great Review for “The Stark Divide”

February 4, 2018 by scott

Just got a fabulous review for “The Stark Divide” from Ryane Chatman: Mr. Coatsworth continues to delight me with each book he writes. I am whisked off to reaches unknown, or reminded of places I’d like to see. He spins tales of longing, despair, faith (not always in the religious sense), and hope. Hope being the key feature of all of his stories. Hope keeps you young. Faith keeps you believing in hope. These are lessons we forget or we become too cynical to carry….

REVIEW: The Stark Divide – Five Stars

January 13, 2018 by scott

Just got a fantastic review for “The Stark Divide” from Xtreme Delusions. “I was kept on the figurative edge of my seat much of the time while reading this and had to force myself to put it down at 5 a.m. at one point so that I could be at least partially functional when meeting with friends later that day.” Authors love this sort of praise. 😛 http://www.xtreme-delusions.com/2018/01/13/review-the-stark-divide-by-j-scott-coatsworth/ Get it now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074G2NJP6/

REVIEW: The Stark Divide – Sci Fi Pulse

November 26, 2017 by scott

What an awesome review for The Stark Divide from Patrick at Sci Fi Pulse: A science fiction novel with a classic premise that delivers drama, action, technology, and heart. I haven’t felt this way after reading a sci-fi book since reading an Asimov or Heinlein novel. Coatsworth is to be congratulated for capturing the spirit of those writers and creating a new tale that will make readers look to the starts. Overall grade: A OMG, I am literally speechless to be mentioned in the same breath as Asimov and Heinlein. 😀 Read the full review here:http://www.scifipulse.net/in-review-the-stark-divide/ And order the book … Read more

Hearts on Fire - The Stark Divide review

Diane at Hearts on Fire gave The Stark Divide a five star rating: I fear that no matter how I write this review, I will not do this book justice, and part of me just wants to say wow, you should read this book! If you have read any of J. Scott Coatsworth’s work, you know he is a science fiction and fantasy writer and I swear his work just keeps on getting better with each book he writes!… “Wow, you should read this book… I would easily put this on my favorites of 2017 list!” That said, I highly recommend … Read more

REVIEWS: The Stark Divide

October 31, 2017October 23, 2017 by scott

More reviews keep coming in – today, two more five star reviews. 🙂 Kimi at the Kimi Chan Experience is hooked: “It’s got me hooked, waiting with bated breath to see what happens next.” If you are a fan of epic sci fi, this is the book for you. Coatsworth writes an engaging tale that spans generations, as we follow them from the first scrabble to leave the dying Earth onwards. The rich prose grabbed me from the very start, drawing me into a future world that seemed familiar and possible. I found myself swept along with the ideals of … Read more

NEW REVIEWS: The Stark Divide

October 16, 2017October 16, 2017 by scott

More reviews keep coming in – today, two more five star reviews. 🙂 Anne Barwell at Drops of Ink couldn’t put it down: When I read a book by J. Scott Coatsworth I know I’m going to be treated to a story with fabulous world building, and interesting characters. The Stark Divide has all of that and more. One thing I really loved about this story is that although there are romances, they don’t drive it. Also it is populated by diverse characters with differing sexualities IE gay, straight, bi, and trans, which is accepted by this society in the … Read more

Another Amazing Review for “The Stark Divide”

October 13, 2017October 12, 2017 by scott

The Stark Divide review - A.M. Leibowitz

A.M. Leibowitz just gave me a fantastic review for “The Stark Divide”. I am over the moon! I’ve read a number of books by the author, and I’ve enjoyed them. This one blows them all away. It is a phenomenal piece of writing that had my undivided attention from the first page. “a phenomenal piece of writing that had my undivided attention from the first page.” There is so much in here that hits all my personal hot spots: World-building that slowly unfolds without a ton of expository text; flawed but likable characters; both subtle and overt references to favorite … Read more
