Review:
Down Station is one of the most intriguing novels I've read in a fair while and I doubt I'll forget it.―For Winter's Nights
there are horrors that surprise as well as moments of wonder. The story is patient, and every sequence is both a physical battle and philosophical teaching that merge with well-placed hooks―Sci-Fi Now
an exiting adventure, full of fine writing―Morning Star
an engaging story―The Daily Mail
amazingly original mindblowing ideas that completely rewrote and reconfigured a familiar London into something much more sinister and post-apocalyptic.―The Digital Fix
This is an interesting read with a great new world to immerse yourself in, it is fantastical and thrilling, a great book to add to your fantasy/sci-fi shelf.―Red Heather Duff Blogspot
This is a very fast paced book, with intense moments of danger as well as being full of wonder. There are so many things to discover in Down not only geographically but historically...Morden has written a book full of mysteries that are just waiting to be discovered.―Fantasy Book Review
This is a story about finding acceptance within yourself so that you can locate the strength to become who you need to be. Morden has written a book full of mysteries that are just waiting to be discovered.―Fantasy Book Review
The world is an interesting and well realised one. The central characters are believable and feel entirely human (though I would like to see more of the supporting cast in the sequel). The plot rattles along nicely, and kept me enthralled to the last page―Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews
