"In the true spirit of Walt Disney, Doctorow has ripped a part of our common culture, mixed it with a brilliant story, and burned into our culture a new set of memes that will be with us for a generation at least." -- Lawrence Lessig - Author, The Future of Ideas

"Doctorow has created a rich and exciting vision of the future, and then wrote a page-turner of a story in it. I couldn't put the book down." -- Bruce Schneier - Author, Secrets and Lies

I have to say that being a new-comer to Doctorow's work I was hooked from the first page. This is an extremely entertaining, rich, clever, engaging and well-written collection and the stories cover a mixture of topics and characters. -- Laura Kane, SF Crow's Nest

Overclocked is a reminder that we can't hope to keep up and shouldn’t bother. But we do need to keep alert, to keep ourselves caffeinated, to run as fast as we can - if we hope to stay in the same place. Getting ahead? That's, alas, a thing of the past. -- Rick Kleffel, NPR

SOMEONE COMES TO TOWN, SOMEONE LEAVES TOWN is a glorious book, but there are hundreds of those. It is more. It is a glorious book unlike any book you've ever read. -- Gene Wolfe

The plot thickens and larger issues may be at stake in the second book of Mayer Alan Brenner's "Dance of Gods" series. Originally published by DAW Books, the books are a witty and intelligent science / fantasy crossover.

"A winner ... I was utterly hooked. Its not a belly-laugh-inducing parody of a fantasy so much as an off-the-wall kind of fantasy in its own right..." --Interzone

Nominated for a Hugo for Best Novel in 2007

"Blindsight is a tour de force, redefining the First Contact story for good. Peter Watts' aliens are neither humans in funny make-up nor incomprehensible monoliths beyond human comprehension - they're something new and infinitely more disturbing, forcing us to confront unpalatable possibilities about the nature of consciousness. It'll make your skin crawl when you stop to think about it. Strongly recommended: this may be the best hard SF read of 2006."

- Charles Stross

Burn won the 2007 Nebula for Best Novella.

"The warm humanity and rural sympathies of this affectionate winsome short novel will make many recall Ray Bradbury at his best" -- From Booklist

"James patrick Kelly's fine new short novel Burn combines maturity with the adventurous spirit of youth, as though the Mark Twain of Huckleberry Finn had come back with a yen to write science fiction." -- Faren Miller, Locus
