“Ellis continues to use her sharp, mid-2000s, first-contact series to delve into serious topics both personal and political.” Booklist

“Ellis draws skillful parallels between her science-fictional politics and real-world issues, gracefully navigating the difficult topics of discrimination, violent extremism, mental health, and addiction. This thought-provoking novel will linger long in readers’ minds.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“The rare second book in a series that improves the first in hindsight, alternately thrilling and gut-wrenching, Truth of the Divine will put your expectations in its crosshairs and then nuke them from orbit. From aliens with inscrutable motives to conniving bureaucrats and armed hate groups, you get the sense that this is what a first-contact scenario would look like. And I don’t mean that in a good way.” ―Jason Pargin, New York Times bestselling author of John Dies at the End

“Everything about the book just works. Truth of the Divine is a must-read for all sci-fi fans, alien invasion fans, and lovers of Axiom’s End.” ―Geek Vibes Nation

Truth of the Divine is a massive step forward for this series.” ―Pajiba
