Koko Takes a Holiday (Ebk)

If you're looking for a fun, violent, blood-and-gore sci-fi romp, you should check it out. - Pixelated Geek

Shea just keeps the action and plot hooks coming. - Hey Poor Player

Kieran Shea's first novel is action-packed, fast-paced, violent, and full of cyberpunk fun. It's a brilliant ride that makes for a quick read, perfect for summer vacation. - Daily Crate

Personally, I can't wait to see Koko Martstellar in another book soon. If it's even half as good as Koko Takes A Holiday it'll be another hellacious ride I want to take. - Pop Cults

The sheer breakneck speed of Koko Takes a Holiday, and the pseudo-cyberpunk posturing of Shea's prose, are more than enough to propel you through this book cover to cover. - Giant Freakin Robot

Plenty of explosions, bullets, wise cracks, and surprises will leave you wanting more. And the best news is that Koko the Mighty will be out in Summer 2015. Yippee-Ki-Yay... this book completely rocks. - Geek Dad

An extremely fast-paced chunk of science fiction space operetta with attitude...Shea is a name to look out for, and I can only see his work getting better and better. - Adventures in SciFi Publishing

Fans of far out there science fiction works similar to what movie fans would expect from a Quentin Tarantino flick will feel right at home. - BGG Magazine

It's no secret that I loved Kieran Shea's debut. - My Bookish Ways

This book looks absolutely bonkers, and it's one that we're itching to read. - BuzzFeed Community

Koko Takes a Holiday is a nonstop, bloody thrill ride with the all the subtlety of a rocket launcher, and I loved every minute of it. And the ending? Well, you'll see-it's a jawdropper. Kieran Shea will blow you away, promise. More Koko please!! - My Bookish Ways

Reminiscent of Takeshi Kovaks from Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon with a dash of Tank Girl attitude, Koko is memorable character. The violence is quite extreme, so the squeamish should probably look elsewhere, but this is a fun gender reversal of your typical shoot-em-up -Library Journal

Wild ride....breakneck pace...great fun - Booklist starred review
