Reviews
“So there is plenty of classic action, but the fantasy has a solid base in humanity. As in Game of Thrones, I cared about the characters : about Emelia's confused feelings for Jem, for Aldred's quest, and even for the villains in the piece.”
“It's an exciting, heart-pounding ride, full of depth and complexity; a dynamic tapestry of superb characterization and world building with profound insights into the human heart.”
Review from the British Fantasy Society
“Ross M. Kitson has built a complex and convincing world here. Frankly, I wouldn’t recommend just picking up just the first book, or even the first two books. Get all three, because you’ll be chain-reading them.”

The Infinity Bridge
Available in print, on e-book
Sam: likes loud music, wears black eye-liner... and sees monsters.
Nick: wears Che Guevara knit-wear, big specs, loves sci-fi... and designs computer viruses.
Annie: dresses like a Sunday evening period drama, lives with her granddad... and fights like a ninja.
When Sam helps out the mysterious Annie, he and his cousin, Nick, are drawn into a world of excitement and danger. Terrifying androids roam the streets of York seeking the awesome power of the Infinity Bridge, a device that could signal the end of our world as we know it. All who stand in their way are being eliminated.
The three teenagers are propelled into an action-packed race against time, involving alternate realities, airships, clockwork killers.... and Merlin.
Sometimes the monsters are real....
Reviews
“What an adventure! With great characters and an amazingly action-packed plot, this steampunk adventure has all the elements for success. It combines modern day technology with that from the Victorian era with effortless aplomb, tackles issues of mental instability, and even has a modern-day Knights of the Round Table and Merlin.”
“Ross Kitson has thrown four teenagers together into a story that opens with action and doesn't stop until the very end. Sam sees monsters and hides behind a tough exterior rather than admit it. Nick is your classic geek. Annie is what happens when the Amish are trained as ninjas and Ben did own up to seeing monsters and ended up in a mental facility.”
