Volk: A Novel of Radiant Abomination, by David Nickle

Paul StJohn Mackintosh

"There is no strident simplistic chest-thumping: the arguments, as well as the historical facts, are very well explored, and the often horrific consequences are demonstrated with great imagination."

The Stone Sky, by N.K. Jemisin

Paul StJohn Mackintosh

"Conquerors live in dread of the day when they are shown to be, not superior, but simply lucky."

  • Book Review

Nutshell, by Ian McEwan

J. S. Loveard

"Now I live inside a story and fret about its outcome."

  • Book Review

The Emerald Circus, by Jane Yolen

William Grabowski

"[A] very large yellow butterfly with black spots like microchips on its wings; flying toward her: It had a scrunched-up, old man’s brown face, with wrinkles, sort of pruney, she thought."

William Morrow

  • Book Review

Seven Wonders of a Once and Future World and Other Stories, by Caroline M. Yoachim

William Grabowski

"She was not a ship at all; she was the ocean, deep and vast, with a form forever changing in waves of green and blue."
