Review
"Bringing out "new" early Delany is the publishing equivalent of extracting dinosaur DNA from flies embedded in amber. Would that there were more!" --William Gibson""They Fly at ciron" is a delightful novel that would make an excellent introduction to its author's books...a body of work that remains the platinum standard by which other works of science fiction and fantasy should be measured. I was so drawn into it that I read the book in a single hungry sitting, and I imagine most readers will do the same..." "Science Fiction Eye""A tremendous story, a powerful plot, full of sex and warfare, beauty and wonder. It's got everything. You will like it." --Michael Swanwick"An intense rapid adventure...Delany's usual musicality and precision is here expressed in an urgent clean line, which reads to me as if this great artist is perhaps entering a new period or style." --Kim Stanley Robinson
From the Back Cover
SURRENDER TO THE FORCES OF MYETRA!
A small pastoral village is invaded without warning by the armies of a distant empire sweeping across the world. Facing mortal danger for the first time in their history, the villagers must forge a pact with the strange and fearsome race of flying people dwelling high above in the mountains.
"'They Fly at Ciron' is vivid and succinct...the extraordinary clarity of detail that has always been his hallmark now serves the purpose of probing, mature, post-romantic mind busy investigating the nature of humanity, culture, nurture, nations and war"
LOCUS
"An extraordinarily satisfying experience"
