Oisin McGann grew up in Dublin and Drogheda, Co Louth. A freelance illustrator/artist serving the publishing and design industires, he has also worked in Britain and Ireland in advertising and film animation. He now lives full time in Dublin. The Gods and Their Machines is his debut novel
Peter Hollindale The School Librarian (UK) : This excellent novel is a fantasy, yet every word of it has direct and understated relevance for our own political world. The book is a fine achievement and is strongly recommended.
Mary Finn RTE Guide : New Irish writer, Oisin McGann has created a believable world, but best of all, believable characters, ones you'd like to know.
Mary Arrigan The Sunday Tribune : McGann has created a clever, sharply constructed novel with credible characters and dialogue and tension-filled action. An excellent read.
The Evening Herald : ...an excellent and well-plotted debut novel.
The Evening Echo : This book has all the ingredients to make it one of your science fiction favourites: originality, intelligence and contemporary relevance.
Books Ireland : The Gods and Their Machines is an eminently readable adventrue story, with a gripping plot that's firmly rooted in current reality.
Irish Farmers Monthly : The weird and wacky is combined with the complex emotion and adventure to give birth to an exciting read.
Library Journal :
Draws on today's headlines to tell a tale of understanding and peace in the midst of terror and prejudice.
McGann's facility with both character and world building makes this impressive debut as rewarding as pure fantasy as...provocative allegory.
