Reviews for The Return...

  • “Feverishly compelling!” – Christian Review of Books

  • “The Return is intelligent suspense at its finest. Boyd weaves an intense and surprising story, making you care deeply for the characters. If you enjoy complex and compelling drama, pick up this book!” -- Mary DeMuth, best-selling author of Watching the Tree Limbs

  • “Austin Boyd is one of the brightest new voices in Christian fiction. His long association with the space program lends authenticity as he reveals the turmoil in the minds and hearts of those who are willing to risk everything by making that journey. In The Return, we learn that both human emotions and God’s presence reach far beyond the pull of Earth’s gravity.” – Dr. Richard Mabry, author of the acclaimed non-fiction text on grief, Tender Scar
