"Eddie Robson is an exciting new fixture in British SFF, with a perspective that's charming, humane and witty. He's going to be around a long time. Read him now before you have to start lying about having done so." --Paul Cornell
"A hell of a lot of fun for fans of locked room mysteries and near future sci-fi." --Gareth L. Powell
"Drunk on all Your Strange New Words is a twisted murder investigation through a post-contact future full of world-building in fascinating detail." --Django Wexler
"A memorable exploration of the power of language and technology in a post first-contact world... thoughtful, fast-paced sci-fi." --Publishers Weekly
"The book packs in oodles of dry wit and droll self-mockery, the sort of profound and lacerating laughter that Robson's countrymen Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett perfected." --NPR on Hearts of Oak
