***** "Great Far Future Sci Fi reminiscent of Iain M. Banks and Niven" A. Gold - USA
"This novel draws heavily from Larry Niven's Ringworld, with its extensive descriptions of man-made habitats of awesome scale. There are also great similarities to Banks' "Culture" novels, with both based in a far-future human civilization with characters drawn from a pan-galactic spy agency. But where the Culture novels feature artificial intelligence, the only AI in UTH is the agency itself-Alien Interventions! Instead, UTH introduces sentient animals that are the product of gene-manipulation."
***** "A Recent Convert" Mr G P Hillyard - UK
"Uth is superbly written. A gorgeous wordscape. Funny, thrilling and charmingly quirky. An intergalactic romp, Covert Ops and a gene doctored cat - and that's just for starters! A little piece of heaven for your Kindle."
***** "Leaves itself open for a sequel" A. Burbank - USA
"Witty dialog, interesting characters, and "lost civilization" adventure keep the plot moving along briskly. The plot twists are handled smartly and it has a satisfying (if not storybook) ending. This is ideal reading for sci-fi fans looking for something familiar to read from a new author."
**** "Entertaining Tale." Sixiron - USA
"Very far ranging tale that covers an amazing amount of ground. The story and exploits are riveting. It rarely bogs down in trivia and weaves mysteries within mysteries that keep the pages turning. Its very well written, perhaps too well written. Not that you need a thesaurus or anything but unusually formal. Read the first chapters and you'll see what I mean. If you can get by that, then by all means buy the book, its a good yarn."
**** "A Sold Entry." John French - USA
"This is a Sci-Fi novel that is accessibly smart. The style blends the adventure and imagination-inciting verve of Patrick Lee and Greg Iles with the zany, grin-inducing wit of the late Douglas Adams. Sharply written and smartly told, Uth is an adventure more concerned with the relationship between a man and a cat than with exploring the cliches of space-based science fiction.
Uth is certainly worth a read, and doesn't even require an interest in Sci-Fi to yield a good time. This novel has firmly put Keith Houghton on my radar as an author."
