Industry Reviews

Ford St could not have picked a better debut novel. Before the Storm is a highly original tale that brings to mind an unlikely though satisfying marriage between The Terminator and the Bronte sisters. It is an expertly written mix of SF, heart-thudding adventure and humour (with the merest hint of romance). This story delivers on so many levels. Rather than causing distance, McMullens use of an omniscient narrator creates an intimacy with all these characters, and is possibly one of the best uses of the viewpoint I have encountered. A thoroughly riveting read, Before the Storm will appeal equally to male and female YA readers everywhere. - Jenny Mounfield
