Review

"Irresistible: this is what the universe ought to be like."--"Interzone"
"There isn't a weak story in the book."--"Vector"
"The stories are personal ones, not epic stories with empires or worlds in the balance. A rock 'n' roll atmosphere pervades the stories. there is something about a punked-out, mohawked el in a leather jacket that shatters the Tolkien mold, that allows the characters to be different, to be apart from the previous mythologies....The chronicles of the Borderlands are heartily recommended."--"Different Worlds"
