The Last Good Man (2017)
Linda Nagata
"The Last Good Man is a compelling and subversive novel, told by unique characters, especially True Brighton: sympathetic, prickly, determined, all too human. Linda Nagata has impressive insights into technological advances and their potential effects.... It was a privilege to read TLGM before its publication."
thumb
Absalom's Mother and Other Stories (2007)
Louise Marley
"Spirited and spiritual."

The Many-Coloured Land (1981)
(Pliocene Exiles, book 1)
Julian May
"Vivid...I stayed up two nights running to finish it. The book grips the reader and doesn't let go."
