“Zipper and Mongeon seamlessly weave the thrills and starry-eyed imagination of Star Trek with the introspective heart and humor of a John Hughes film - it's a total blast.” – Seth Grahame-Smith, The New York Times bestselling author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

“Devastation Class looks to be a new classic YA series; gripping, pacey and action-packed. It reminded me in the best way of the universe-building stories of Heinlein and Card. The cliffhangers matter in this one so looking forward to the next!” – Alex Winter, Director (Panama Papers, Showbiz Kids & Zappa), Actor (Bill & Ted Face The Music)

“Devastation Class is a rare gem of a space story, packed with twists, hair-raising action, and delicious moral quandary. I instantly fell in love with its band of rebel prodigies--and had my heart broken in the all the right ways. Supremely good sci-fi.” – Jessica Khoury, Author of the Corpus Trilogy and Last of Her Name
