Essef - McIntyre's tender and compassionate adventure story - a Hugo and Nebula Award-winner and a New York Times bestseller.

Review:

A beautiful achievement (The Guardian)

It's a haunting, rich, and tender novel that explores the human side of science fiction in a manner that's all too uncommon. The world it creates is vivid and fascinating, and Snake is a marvellously well realized character (Roger Zelazny)

A splendid tale, combining the sensitivity and attention to mood of the new generation of SF writers with a gripping and well-worked-out adventure (Publishers Weekly)

This is a book like a mountain stream - fast, clean, clear, exciting, beautiful (Ursula K. Le Guin)

An accomplished, compelling work (challengingdestiny.com)
