Konstantin

A convincing account, lyrical yet exact, of the making of a scientist. Konstantin Tsiolkovsky may not be a household name, but the author has set him squarely before us as a living, thinking, ingenious human being

I can't think of a more beautiful and gripping book I have read for ages. I couldn't put it down

Kate Williams, author of 'The Pleasures of Men'

Tom Bullough has burst from his chrysalis with Konstantin. The novel is startlingly original and betrays with quiet assurance, a deep literary power beneath. I cannot praise it highly enough, simply for the pleasure it gave me, and the pleasure came from a skilfully crafted story, and masterful handling of character and atmosphere

Chris Stewart

Bullough calls this a 'futurist folk tale' and he's bang on the money. It's clever, ambitious and oddly haunting

BMI Voyager Magazine

A charming novel, sensitively told

Prospect Magazine

Refreshing and inspiring...it is a little gem and I loved it
