City in the Middle of the Night (Anders) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
★ Intricate, embracing much of what makes a grand adventure: smugglers, revolutionaries, pirates, camaraderie, personal sacrifice, wondrous discovery, and the struggle to find light in the darkness. Breathlessly exciting and thought-provoking.
Publishers Weekly


★ The planet of January was colonized long ago, but now it is dying.… [A]n intricate tale of colonialism and evolution on both physical and social levels. The harsh world and well-developed characters combine with stunning storytelling that will capture readers' minds and hearts. —Kristi Chadwick, Massachusetts Lib. Syst., Northampton
Library Journal


★ An even stronger novel than Anders’ Nebula Award–winning All the Birds in the Sky; a tale that can stand beside such enduring works as Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness, Frank Herbert’s Dune, and Dan Simmons’ Hyperion.
Booklist


★ [A] sweeping work of anthropological/social sf.… Anders contains multitudes; it's always a fascinating and worthwhile surprise to see what she comes up with next.
