The result is a story where each answer creates more questions. --Derwin Mak, co-editor of The Dragon and the Stars and author of The Moon Under Her Feet and The Shrine of the Siren Stone

    Uh see above

    Read the trilogy. It ranges from very inventive hard sci fi to rather thrilling plot twists to a poetic Chinese and East Asian cultural sensibility. Oh - quick delivery, perfect new cond.

  • A unique perspective

    i read all 3 books... 2 times, as always I read for mistakes then enjoy-ability. I'll admit he got a little creative which kept my interest as I am also a scifi writer always looking for new content, I found very little in his works. almost no mistakes just an overall depressing story line from the beginning to the very end which was in my opinion poorly written, possibly to finally reach an ending to the series. I'd recommend it for good flow (ability to keep the story moving along naturally without having to get insane) and some content that could spark ones imagination to a future possibility of a different outcome of the human race.
