About this title

Review:

"Even in the best science fiction stories, it is rare to find a genuine alien culture that is believable and self-consistent. George R. R. Martin's novel presents several such cultures, and forces them into conflicts that bring out the best--and the worst--in the human characters who make this story live, breathe, and bleed."

A novel that will delight fans of both Stephen King and Mark Twain . . . darkly romantic, chilling and rousing by turns . . . a thundering success. Roger Zelazny
An adventure into the heart of darkness that transcends even the most inventive vampire novels . . . Fevre Dream runs red with original, high adventure. Los Angeles Herald Examiner
Stands alongside Anne Rice s Interview with the Vampire as a revolutionary work. Rocky Mountain News
Engaging and meaningful. The Washington Post Book World"
