“The entire Petahertz trilogy is full of both scientific facts and philosophical reflections, yet it is incredibly easy to read, credible, different, smart, and very exciting.”

“A nail-biting emotional journey from start to finish. Evil and goodness are wildly mixed, and at many points I found myself reflecting on our own world. Much of it feels believable, and even though it's sci-fi, it seems like it could actually happen in real life.”

“Loved it, and I instantly wanted to dive into the next book — I was completely hooked after just a few pages, and looked forward to coming home just to keep reading! So masterfully written, it was so easy to picture everything with all the setting descriptions and the characters. The book ended too soon!”
“The author has truly succeeded. There are many technical descriptions of advanced research, while at the same time it’s a thrilling suspense story with countless moments of tension. And just when you think you’ve figured out the plot, it takes another turn.
This is a very exciting trilogy that quickly becomes a page-turner. There’s always something new hidden on the next page. I give the trilogy a very strong recommendation.”
Deckarlogg nominated Två hundra år färgäves for Best Swedish crime novel and other crime fiction for the year 2024

★★★★★ One of the best trilogies I’ve read. Thought-provoking and frightening.
★★★★★ Grand, complex, teeming philosophical portrayal. Especially great that the characters are so nuanced — both good and evil, noble and horrifying. Overwhelming. The ending is brilliant. Thank you.
★★★★★ Very good final part of the trilogy. This series is one of the best I’ve read in a very long time. Well-written — it’s clear the author knows what he’s talking about — with a great plot that demands close attention. And a fitting end to the trilogy, in my opinion! What else could have been done? Great narrator! Highly recommended, and as others have said: make a TV series out of it! Looking forward to the author’s next trilogy. Thank you for a great trilogy!
