About this title

Review:

"Fascinating and superbly written." --Starlog

"One of the stranger SF series of recent years...Calder's mix of violent and graphically sexual images and dizzily recursive explications of SF tropes blended through a reality mixer is unsettling, genuinely exotic, and fiercely intelligent. Highly recommended." --Paul J. McAuley, Interzone

"A literary head kickc, pushing gender and bio-tech buttons as hard as something like Neuromancer pushed the romance of digital criminality." --Richard Kadrey, author of Kamikaze L'Amour

"A future world as rich, dense, and intricate as any in recent SF." --Rob Latham, The New York Review of Science Fiction

"The trilogy holds many rewards, cerebral and aesthetic." --Publishers Weekly

"Stunning...a wild trilogy" --Science Fiction Age
