Finders (2018)
(Firstborn, Lastborn, book 1)
Melissa Scott
"Space Opera with a fine, wide sweep of time behind it, intriguing 'Clarkean' magical science, and an engaging, edgy threesome of central characters. Fun to read, and best of all, the promise of more to come."
thumb
Hairy London (2014)
Stephen Palmer
"THE FULL IMMERSION EXPERIENCE OF NFO-MAGIC."
thumb
Dangerous Space (2007)
Kelley Eskridge
"Characters slip from story to story, role to role, delineating a fascination with the ruthless hunger for sensation that possesses all great artists; and the complicity of those who love them. Kelley Eskridge's collection is a treat: unassuming, deceptively gentle, packing a subtle punch."
