ANDREW PYPER, author 1968-2025. His next books, under his sci-fi/thriller pen name Mason Coile, are EXILES (2025) and William (2024). Tweets are his wife's.
Occam’s Razor suggests that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one, but when the option is between robots gone bad, or aliens, which is the more obvious? 'Exiles' by @andrewpyper is out now.

@andrewpyper a new french review of Oracle on Babelio : "La natation de Patrick Labbé donne à ce thriller paranormal une saveur très québécoise. L'enquête sur fond de traque "spectrale" se révèle assez page-turner et intéressante. Je me suis vraiment a… ift.tt/Piez8dQ
I loved EXILES by @andrewpyper (writing under his pen name, Mason Coile). I'd read WILLIAM and enjoyed it, so was trusting the author for another ride. A legit sci-fi horror on Mars. Is there an alien monster on the planet? Have the Ai robots gone mad? Both? Neither? Great read.
So… this is sort of a big deal.
Exiles was just named one of the NYT Book Review’s “Hidden Gems of 2025.” nytimes.com/2025/12/11/books…
"There is nothing better than being pulled into an immersive, read-in-one-sitting book...It was a sweet (or should I say sinister?) little treat."
12/04/25 – New York Times Book Review : “Our Favorite Books to Give Every Type of Reader”: “For the science fiction fan… by Coile is a thrilling space mystery that blends science fiction and horror.
Anything by @andrewpyper is perfect for reading in October. His more recent entries, William and Exiles, comprise a great blend of horror, sci-fi, and psych thriller. I rec'd reading them back to back. Although they are very different, they are connected, perfectly, by themes

"What begins as survival horror quickly becomes a meditation on AI, paranoia and the weight of grief in isolation...Lean, propulsive and layered with existential dread, capped by a devastating emotional undercurrent."
“[P]acey and taut…This slim novel fires off a series of thrilling set pieces at a relentless cadence, one nightmare after another...Exiles has the breathless pace of a thriller, the creeping dread of horror and the robots and alien landscapes of science fiction.
