Starred Review!
Glynn and everyone on his team was so excited to see Exile received a starred review from Publishers Weekly! A starred review from Publishers Weekly is a big deal in the publishing world: the magazine puts a star next to certain books to indicate its “a book of outstanding quality”. Which, according to one of the biggest industry magazines in book publishing, is amazing.
Check out the whole of the review below:
★ A failed rebellion against a tyrannical space confederacy is exiled to a remote corner of the galaxy in this political space drama, the first full novel in Stewart’s Exile series (after the novella Ashen Stars). In the colonized cosmos of 2386, Isaac Gallant, the son of the dictatorial president of the interstellar Confederacy, is a high-ranking officer in the Confederacy fleet. He’s also secretly part of a rebellion against the Confederacy. Alongside rebellion leader Amelie Lestroud, a former movie star, Isaac helps to colonize a verdant planet. Moral dilemmas and political intrigue follow as they struggle to establish a new government on an idyllic world that might belong to someone else. Though there are few complicated relationships, the diverse cast of characters is refreshing, and Isaac and Amelie’s agonies over their growing romantic feelings are convincing. At the center of the story is the human will to adapt to new modes of existence. This fast-paced starfaring adventure succeeds with a thrilling mix of space battles and tender emotions. (July)
Want to know what got these reviewers so impressed? Check out the Exile blurb below:
A shackled Earth, ruled by an unstoppable tyrant
An exiled son, and a one-way trip across the galaxy
A perfect world, their last hope for survival
Vice Admiral Isaac Gallant is the heir apparent to the First Admiral, the dictator of the Confederacy of Humanity. Unwilling to let his mother’s tyranny stand, he joins the rebellion and leads his ships into war against the might of his own nation.
Betrayal and failure, however, see Isaac Gallant and his allies captured. Rather than execute her only son, the First Admiral instead decides to exile them, flinging four million dissidents and rebels through a one-shot wormhole to the other end of the galaxy.
There, Isaac finds himself forced to keep order and peace as they seek out a new home without becoming the very dictator he fought against—and when that new home turns out to be too perfect to be true, he and his fellow exiles must decide how hard they are prepared to fight for paradise…against the very people who built it.

Hi Glynn, loved the Ashen Stars novella and have ready everything else you have published. Noticed this time around its not available on Kindle Unlimited (not that that will stop me from buying it however 😛 )
Keep up the writing! Thanks for all the great stories.
Hi Ian,
Unfortunately, because the book is widely available, we cannot qualify for Kindle Unlimited. But I’m sos glad to hear that you will buy the book anyway!

Hi Kate, thanks for the reply. Already half way through and loving it. I see so many possibilities for how this story will unfold and I am looking forward to seeing where Glynn takes it.
