“Exciting debut and a digestible beginning to an original, multi-pov SFF trilogy, Failed Extinction: Death of a System is packed with immersive, colorful world-building, political intrigue, power plays, and dynamic characters that will stay with you long after the final chapters.

This is just the beginning, and I cannot wait for the sequel!”

- Caitlynn Y, ARC reviewer

“Set in a fractured galaxy where political systems are collapsing and entire civilizations are fighting not to be erased, this story feels both expansive and intimate. The worldbuilding is layered with rebellion, buried history, and the quiet tension of a universe on the brink.

But what truly stayed with me were the characters… Their pain felt real. Their determination felt earned. The emotional impact sneaks up on you and lingers long after you close the book.”

-Laura E, ARC reviewer

“Death of a system is a wonderful introduction into what is sure to be an epic trilogy. It's fun, fast paced with a true and typical sense of good Vs evil right from the start.

The characters are easy to love, and easy to hate in terms of their ability to make you feel strongly for their decisions.
It's a great start with a strong ending to book one. Excited for the next one!”

-Rory B, ARC reviewer

“From the first page, this book gripped me. It is filled to the brim with whacky characters, found family, and a political coup… I can't wait to continue this series!”

“Completely unique. Impressive story and great characters, this book doesn’t feel like other “cookie cutter” books with the same plot and story, it’s a new direction with a great concept.”

“First of all, the setting and fully alien cast was fascinating. Not something I see/read often, but I loved it! Atlas makes a compelling protagonist, and Selena's scheming will have you hooked at every turn. The supporting cast carry their weight and add interesting dimensions to this sci-fi adventure. Atlas and co. have some sweet, dare I say cozy found family moments while on the run, and Selena will give you your fill of political intrigue. I would go so far as to say Selena really drives the story, which creates an interesting and unexpected dynamic with our heroes.”

“This isn’t just about war or systems failing. It’s about identity, sacrifice, and what it costs to fight for a future when the past has already taken so much.

This debut has heart, ambition, and teeth. I’m genuinely excited to see where this trilogy goes next.”

-Laura E, ARC reviewer

“Right from the beginning, the book immerses you in its rich lore, which Voss masterfully integrates with a story that's both engaging and heartwarming, leaving you smiling and unexpectedly moved at various chapter endings. The way characters are contextualised helps immerse the reader in a world of planetary struggles and political machinations, which I'm absolutely hoping to see more of. With a variety of action scenes, this story will pull you in and leave you biting your nails, hoping your favourites make it out at the end.”

“Set across multiple vivid worlds, Failed Extinction: Death of a System had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page! I genuinely felt like I was sharing the adrenaline rush alongside the characters. When I closed the book, my first thought was, “Oh wow… here we go!”…

Nova, in particular, stood out to me. Though her vocation presents her as polished and structured, she remains wonderfully human, quirky, emotionally layered, sometimes grounded yet slightly chaotic in the most endearing way! I absolutely fell in love with her character.”

-Ashlynn K, ARC Reviewer

“What really stood out for me was the theme of found family, it gave the story so much heart, and I loved seeing how these connections shaped them. The humour was also perfectly timed and added a lightness that balanced the heavier moments beautifully. Even before I reached the final pages, I already knew it would be hard having to wait for book two!”

- Moni, ARC reviewer

“Captivating villains with conflicting morals and a dark history are balanced with found-family and heart-warming moments that left me both laughing and crying. I loved switching between perspectives and all the emotions that came with knowing what’s coming and waiting for it to make its way across the galaxies.

Even though Earth has yet to enter into this planetary alliance, Failed Extinction is filled with resonating humanity and validating mental health representation that left me feeling seen.”

-Caitlynn Y, ARC reviewer

“So good! I have a crush on Atlas, and love the political subplots. “

- Anonymous, ARC reviewer

“The author does an amazing job developing the characters and balancing between view points. He makes it very clear when it’s in another characters perspective, making the transitions feel natural— something not many authors are capable of.”

- Melanie R, ARC reviewer

“Failed extinction is a fast-paced (super quick read!) action packed sci fi with elements of fantasy and magic, lots of emotional turmoil, and shifting politics at a galactic level. It's very enjoyable and has moments of laughing out loud and very unexpected twists with very nice foreshadowing!”

- Ana Del, ARC reviewer

“This book was excellent. It was heartfelt, funny, the stakes were high, and I was kept throughly entertained and guessing what would happen next… this one is absolutely worth reading!”
