'Like reading a Masters of Environment course in a novel.' - Daniel Simmons, founder, Transitions Film Festival (Australia)

'What a skillful weaving of so much information into an excellent, suspense-filled heart touching story...tantalisingly clever - so many layers.' (verified reader)

Feedback from The Black List readers on the screenplay adaptation:

'MISSION ASSURANCE GAIA EXPERIMENT has clear ambitions to be an international blockbuster. It certainly has potential in that regard thanks to its bold, memorable sci-fi elements, crowd-pleasing environmentalist themes, globe-trotting plot, and multi-national cast.' (Blklst review of screenplay adapted by the author from the book)

'Mission Assurance Gaia Experiment is an ambitious and cinematic sci-fi fantasy adventure that dazzles on a visceral level. The budget would be at a blockbuster level, but the results could be as well. The topical relevance of the themes here is clear and thought-provoking, with an epic scale. The script not only explores the important issue of climate change, but goes even deeper into human consciousness. It can be somber, but the script allows for the possibility of hope as well, and that is important. Right from the beginning, the script is filled with numerous breathtaking imagery and visceral thrills. It's easy to see the cinematic potential here, with a global scale and a scope that attempts to encompass the human experience itself. The script does a lot of world-building, and it is easy to imagine sequels and prequels coming out of this franchise.' (Blklst review of screenplay adapted by the author from the book)

'The script is extremely vivid and visual, painting a detailed picture of what the film is supposed to look and feel like. The writer is fantastic with world-building and creates an engaging setting that transports the reader to this oceanic world. The social significance in this script gives it a much-needed timeliness as well and makes an interesting statement about how humans are treating the planet and how much will need to change for Earth to have a sustainable future.'
