Praise for S. M. Stirling and His Novels of the Change "Stirling has blazed a clear comet trail across his postapocalyptic landscape that illuminates both the best and the worst of which our species is capable."- Science Fiction Weekly "Nobody wrecks a world better than S. M. Stirling, and nobody does a better job of showing that people remain people, with all their high points and low, in the wreckage."-Harry Turtledove, New York Times Bestselling Author of Supervolcano: All Fall Down "[A] richly realized story of swordplay and intrigue."- Entertainment Weekly "Absorbing."- San Diego Union-Tribune "[A] vivid portrait of a world gone insane...full of bloody action, exposition that expands character, and telling detail that makes it all seem very real."- Statesman Journal (Salem, OR) "As usual, S. M. Stirling delivers a rich world readers want to live in. Fully formed and alive characters you wish you could drink a beer with or follow into battle."- PNC-Minnesota Bureau "Stirling's historical research is always impeccable, and his ability to use that knowledge and understanding of everything from ancient weapons to regional accents to a foodie's obsession with good eats creates a world you can see, feel, and touch."- Otherwhere Gazette
