A review by scottlukaswilliams
Gate Crashers by Patrick S. Tomlinson
4.0
The good people at Tor sent me a copy of this book in exchange for a fair review and I’m so glad they did because I quite enjoyed it.
Gate Crashers is like a cross between Galaxy Quest and Hitchiker’s Guide. Tomlinson has a dry wit and sarcastic voice that make this work very entertaining. One can enjoy the humour but still be caught up in the suspense of a sci-fi thriller.
The plot concerns the crew of a future earth exploration vessel who are the first to encounter an alien civilization. The characters are relatable 21st century types and they are interesting enough that you want to see them succeed and survive. I find myself eager to read about what happens to them next.
I look very forward to reading the next novel in this series and I will seek out other work by Tomlinson in the future.
