Resurrection Man

"A mmody, quirky, fascinating fantasy. Sean Stewart definitely follows his own drummer."

Flesh and Gold
Flesh and Gold (1998)
(Flesh and Gold, book 1)
Phyllis Gotlieb
"Sex, violence, intricate plotting, light-speed pacing, an amazing variety of aliens, touches of Philip K Dick's sardonic humor, and Cordwainer Smith's obstinate idealism make this novel dazzling."

(Horse Catchers, book 1)

Roma Eterna
Roma Eterna (2003)
Robert Silverberg
"Probably the most intelligent science fiction writer in America."
Carlucci
Carlucci (2003)

Richard Paul Russo

(Seeker Chronicles)
Betsy James
"Tightly plotted, tautly written, bursting with passion and poetry. Listening At the Gate will transport you to a world both hauntingly familiar and utterly new - hope, and wild adventure."
Crazy Love
Crazy Love (2008)
Leslie What
"If unbearable guilt makes you wish to suffer vicariously, and professionally, for others; if you suddenly find yourself the father of thousands and thousands of children; if your ambition is to occupy the Chair of Hermit Studies at the University of Oregon, or to be a ghost in a hot-air balloon, or if you have considered wearing a gorilla mask while having an abortion - CRAZY LOVE is your operating manual. These seventeen achingly funny and hilariously sad stories will give you invaluable advice on how to love, how to be crazy, how to be human."
