SF Crowsnest on The DwarvesThere are a lot of
interesting ideas throughout the DOORS experiment. They are
action thrillers . . . [they] reminded me of the type of
crazed abandonment that someone like Mathew Riley brings to the novels. You
should enjoy the ride . . .with its gung-ho action and ephemeral characters,
Colony is a book aimed more at the action science-fiction fans who just want a quick and enjoyable read ―
SFBOOK REVIEWS on DOORS ? ColonyHeitz likes to
play with alternative realities . .

into an old-school slobberknocker of a fight. The

SFBOOK REVIEWS on DOORS ! Field of BloodTwilight explores the idea of what happens
if you leap from dimension to dimension. Imagine the finalé to
Monsters Inc but in this case
the monsters want to eat your face off rather than just scare you. The movement from one place to another allows for a series of
entertaining little novelettes. Heitz can create
an interesting and believable future and also manages to create
some stalking horror elsewhere within the same story. The books can be read
in any order as they are all different in style If you have the previous books fresh in your mind you will see
so many more of the tendrils link one to another ―

About the Author
Markus Heitz trained to be a teacher after studying history and German literature, then going on to an MA in History. He spent several years as a journalist, writing in his free time, before the runaway success of The Dwarves allowed him to give up the day job. His debut epic fantasy novel, Schatten über Ulldart (Shadows over Ulldart) was the first of many of his books to win the Deutscher Phantastik Preis (Germany's premier literary award for fantasy) in 2003. Since then he has frequently topped the bestseller charts, and his Number One bestselling Dwarves and Aelfar series have earned him a place among Germany's most successful fantasy authors. The DOORS series, where each book follows the adventurers as they choose a different door, have earned him a whole new audience as he plays with fantasy, thriller and mystery tropes to keep the reader always interested. He currently lives in Saarland, in Germany.
