  • "A gripping blend of sci-fi mystery and small-town suspense, Godfall delivers an unforgettable ride."
    Ron Howard
  • "A fully engrossing, genre bending procedural that will have you staying up long past your bedtime."
    Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 International Bestselling Author
  •  "A gripping, fast-paced, genre-bending novel full of heart and wonder. Give this one to fans of Ben H. Winters and Dan Chaon."
    Portia Kapraun, Library Journal
  • "Godfall is a fresh and surprising genre mashup, bringing a laconic small town sheriff together with a crash-landed alien and a series of brutal killings, beautifully interweaving otherworldly images and naturalistic details of rural Nebraska life. Van Jensen is a terrific writer, and I was under the book's strange and extraordinary spell from start to finish."
    Dan Chaon, author of Sleepwalk
  • "Godfall is the genre-mashup novel of my dreams. With breathtaking imagery and razor-sharp prose, Jensen gives us a story that is part alien sci-fi, part mystery, with a doomsday cult, a serial killer, and a dash of sandhill cranes, all against the beautiful backdrop of rural Nebraska. I expect Godfall to rocket to the top of many best-of lists for the year."
    Erin Flanagan, Edgar-Award winning author of Deer Season and Blackout
  • "Godfall blends rural noir with a daring dose of sci-fi to create something wholly new and engaging. Jensen comes in hot with his debut, and I can't wait to read what he does next."
    Alex Segura, author of Secret Identity and Miami Midnight
  • "Van Jensen delivers the sense-bending strange in this tale of mystery and wonder."
    Gary Phillips, author of One-Shot Harry
  • "It isn't easy to infuse magical realism with grit, but Godfall does it with panache. I was under Van's spell from the first chapter. A striking debut novel from one of my favorite writers."
    Kevin Maurer, author of No Easy Day and Damn Lucky
