Book Reviews
Intricate, embracing much of what makes a grand adventure: smugglers, revolutionaries, pirates, camaraderie, personal sacrifice, wondrous discovery, and the struggle to find light in the darkness. Breathlessly exciting and thought-provoking.
Publishers Weekly


The planet of January was colonized long ago, but now it is dying.… [A]n intricate tale of colonialism and evolution on both physical and social levels. The harsh world and well-developed characters combine with stunning storytelling that will capture readers' minds and hearts. —Kristi Chadwick, Massachusetts Lib. Syst., Northampton
Library Journal


An even stronger novel than Anders’ Nebula Award–winning All the Birds in the Sky; a tale that can stand beside such enduring works as Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness, Frank Herbert’s Dune, and Dan Simmons’ Hyperion.
Booklist


[A] sweeping work of anthropological/social sf.… Anders contains multitudes; it's always a fascinating and worthwhile surprise to see what she comes up with next.
