• Colleen Mondor reviewed it in the January issue of Locus Magazine: “Starflight is the sort of fluffy young-adult romance that seems tailor made to bring fans that have never seen a single episode of Star Trek – or even Firefly – to science fiction. … Mock it like you mock a Hallmark Christmas movie, but this helping of teen comfort food in set in space and, barring the recent efforts of Beth Revis and Cecil Castellucci, space rarely receives the attention of YA authors.”

• Ebook ISBN [link to Amazon Kindle edition]: 9781429944526
• Audiobook ISBN [link to Amazon]: 9781427274717

SF novel about a man who finds himself exiled from the flow of time and who struggles to return by addressing secrets from his family’s past.
• Macmillan’s site has this description with an excerpt.
• The Publishers Weekly review concludes, “This novel is clearly a work of great labor, and it shows; Wray’s ambition and attention to plotting is praiseworthy, but the structure can be exhausting, and there are instances of quirk standing in for characterization. Nevertheless, readers looking for a fully realized blend of science and history will find a deep world to dive into.”
• Gary K. Wolfe reviewed it in the January issue of Locus Magazine, commenting on the SF’nal elements: “The titles Wray assigns to his imaginary pulps, like Preposterous! Stories and Tales of Stupefaction, are tin-eared even as parody, and to top it off, the name of the SF writer is Orson Scott Tolliver, and his wife is named Ursula. One of his novels helps give rise to an ersatz religion called the Church of Synchronology. The point is, that despite Wray’s otherwise studied attention to chronology, SF emerges as a kind of unrecognizable ahistorical stew, as though unworthy of the sort of basic research that underlies the rest of the novel.”
