Chris Gerrib reviews Sly Mongoose for TCM:

Buckell has a superb grasp of pacing and the writing of action sequences. He uses his Caribbean background to render dialects sharply, and has a good grasp of characters. But this is not just a space shoot-it-up. Buckell, thanks to his strong world-building, gets in some pointed political and social commentary. Sly Mongoose is a great book, written by one of the hot new writers on the science fiction scene.

I have to say I’m just really enjoying the advance excitement readers have had about this book.
