review 1: What a gem! Lovely writing, plenty of adventure and action - but nothing to worry parents by way of attitudes, activity, language or morality. I've been unwell and needed some relaxing escapism and this is PERFECT. I'm currently most of the way through Podiobooks.com's audio version - which is beautifully read and produced. I discovered Tumbler via a recommendation from Nathan Lowell (author/reader of the Trader's Tale series). Brand Gamblin's style is pretty similar and readers who like Nathan's work will probably love Tumbler as well. Great fiction - almost a new Sci Fi genre - minimalist Universes set in deep space where the technology is (mostly) in the background and human relationships dominate.
review 2: Tumbler is the kind of sci-fi novel that makes yo... moreu wonder what living and working in outer space would really be like. The chances of mankind having any grand space battles anytime soon aren't likely, but the sort of future author Brand Gamblin paints in Tumbler is within our grasp if we but choose to reach for it.Not that life for main character Libby Carter is all that rosy. Lured into space by big corporate promises of free land and easy riches, she soon discovers that only hard work and perseverance will bring her success. As life in space presents her with one great challenge after another, Libby's dogged determination to beat the odds and do so on her own terms is a refreshing change from all the depressing dystopian futures sci-fi seems bound to these days.Tumbler is a fun story, with plenty of action, plenty of good characters, and plenty of hope that we won't always be stuck on this big blue ball if we only have the intestinal fortitude to get out there and get to work! less
