"In this debut novel, a Postbox transports future government auditor Sero Novak to a colony on a water planet."
Kirkus
Review
"....Telonaut (..) shines and gives you several reasons to stop and think about what you’re reading. Matt Tyson delivers an interesting, engaging story of deception, grief, and madness in the last third of the book."
".......and there was a twist the author threw in that I did not see coming. I mean, yeah, things were weird, but I didn’t think they were that weird!"
SciFi and Scary
Review by Lilyn G
"Telonaut possesses a winning combination with superb character development, constant uncertainty over when the characters are safe, tumbling adventure and dangerous situations, along with the introduction of new life forms, which forces the reader to wonder about the choices for everyone’s survival in a futuristic setting using scientific advancements in a seemingly utopian situation."
"Sero Novak’s current age is forty-six years old. However, he was born one hundred seventeen years ago. For the missing sixty-nine years, he was just code – a spider map – on a permaDrive, waiting for a body."
Best Sellers World
Review by Teri Davis
"Challenging, intelligent science fiction about a human space colony hiding a dark secret."
" ......bags of challenging ideas, interesting settings, and developed characters, there’s plenty to enjoy."

"Telonaut is hard sci-fi but I think all writers need a real world reference to build characters from. This particular novel has themes of family, parental duty and love."

MATT TYSON
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
British by Birth, Matt Tyson has spent most of the last decade working and living in Africa. He was drawn to Africa through a volunteering programme working on medicine supply chains. Both his children were born in South Africa, where Matt and his family now live, in the Western Cape. He wrote his first book 'Telonaut' whilst travelling and working on the continent. Telonaut will be the first in a series of books, 'The Teloverse Series'. He’s likely working on ‘Infonaut’ as you read this.
When not writing, Matt is a lumbering oaf of a triathlete. He powers through the swim but cycles like there is a bread basket on the front of his bike. His running has improved since he was introduced to audiobooks and therefore happier to train for longer. He'll complete a full distance Iron Man one day, once his children are old enough for him to spend time running in circles rather than running after them.
Bradford City Football Club hold a special place in Matt’s heart, an immovable stone formed there through years of standing in the cold and wet with friends that felt like family, sharing hopes and dreams for the success of an endeavor. Matt believes that listening to Prince and David Bowie and supporting Bradford City can teach you 80% of everything you need to know about life. Happy accident will take care of the other 20%.
Matt holds a Genetics Bachelors degree and a Bioinformatics Masters degree from the University of Liverpool, England.
