"A love letter to childhood innocence, real-world science, pop culture, rollicking Boys Own adventure stories, and Jules Verne. This is the kind of book that isn't written very often, with hefty dollops of charm that makes you smile while you're reading it. If there's any justice to the publishing world, Charlie Ellis should be the next big thing..." Starburst Magazine
