Media Reviews

Victor Gischler's Gestapo Mars is the literary equivalent of filet mignon with a side of fries and a cold, cold beer. Hyperviolent, oversexed, full of crazy ideas, packed with action, and delivered at breakneck speed, Gestapo Mars brings together the best of what sci-fi pulp has to offer and then sprinkles enough smart ideas and humor on top to make it the kind of book even those who think they'll hate it should read. - HorrorTalk

Will no doubt please those readers hoping for a space-futuristic story that sharply veers from the norm - Popwrapped

Gestapo Mars will light your fire in ways other space operas won't. It wears its inspirations well: Buck Rogers (obviously), Barbarella, and the climax is straight out of Star Wars: A New Hope, complete with gelatinous aliens, the Coriandons - the spanner in the Nazi works - Project Fandom

crazy, sexy, and action-packed. - Bookgasm

These are the very adult adventures of an irreverent action anti-hero whose derring-do will keep you in stitches. - Count Gore

Gestapo Mars knows what you've come for, striking its targets with a laser beam right through the bullseye. Gratuitous sex? Check. Muscle-bound, gun-toting ultra-violence? Check. Nazis using their mega-ship to fire a broadside at a fleet of invading snot-aliens? Check. Outlandish fun from start to finish. --Nudge BookGeek

Sci-fi yarns don't get much wackier. - Publishers Weekly

The action is fast, furious and irreverent...sanity has left the building - Sanford Allen

A non stop (and fast) romp of action, sex, and funny parody, set in a galaxy that is completely mis-managed by its goose stepping government. - Atomic Moo
