reviews
For fans of science fiction, this is a must-read.
Like a mad, violent episode of the X – files, The Black Seas of Infinity is that paranoid road trip every Sci-fi fan fantasizes about. Great stuff. Get your ticket now.
Henk’s writing comes alive to deliver a Sci-Fi horror thriller that breaks all the rules and then some.
"This book is written perfectly, it's exciting and it has motherf---ing aliens in it. It's absolutely fantastic. I really hope that Dan writes more books like this, because I would read every one of them."
If I was to sum the novel up in a short statement, it would be this journey into the limitless exploration of the unconstrained. What Henk has achieved here is breath- taking and mind-blowing. A read that becomes unforgettable once that last thought- provoking page has been turned. Imagination has never felt so unrestrained.
"Think X-Files crossed with the fabulous Alastair Reynolds, and you'll begin to get a picture of where Dan's stunning original SF writing will lead you."
A slightly surreal first person violent odyssey that is definitely a bit different. Well worth a look.
Dan’s sketches are top notch and this story was excellent, original, intriguing, and entertaining! Loved it!
Dan Henk, in The Black Seas of Infinity, has written a “sci-fi travelogue” that conjoins aliens, a fabulous "suit" and secessionist politics into rip-roaring-non-stop narrative rich with chunks of religion, swathes of ultra-hi tech, an inventory of cars and trucks and tanks and Humvees and mind-warping space engines. The Black Seas of Infinity is a fascinating narrative built on the Lost Cities of the Maya as a portal to alien worlds and wrapped up in alien spaceships—and that's just for starters.
"The Black Seas of Infinity is an absolute 'must read' by all fans of things Sci-Fi, and I struggled to put the book down once started."
"The Black Seas Of Infinity" pays homage to the pulp greats of the '70s and '80s, while exploring some interesting new ground."
