Praise for Catherine Wells: * "A well-told tale...I look
forward to the next title from this new name in the field." --
Science Fiction Chronicle * "MOTHER GRIMM is a thinking
person's SF novel." --Starlog * "An uncomfortably believable
novel that reads more like future history than science fiction.
Wells is a natural storyteller who serves up a well-measured
mixture of the best ingredients--conflict and greed, love and
lust, hope and dreams and suspense." --Grand Forks Herald
