Review quote
Swift has produced another beautifully-written novel. -- Civilian Reader Cataveiro has a soulful, lonely quality as Taeo and Ramona embark on their missions, haunted by memories of the past and visions of what lies ahead ... an intriguing world to get lost in. * SciFi Now * A fantastic blend of worldbuilding, excellent storytelling and complex characters. -- John DeNardo * SF Signal * Swift's first novel, with its brilliant near-future vision of an ecologically and socially devastated world and characters who resonate with life and passion, marks her as an author to watch. -- Jackie Cassada * Library Journal * A glittering first novel: a kind of flooded Gormenghast treated with the alienated polish of DeLillo's Cosmopolis. The result is a gripping novel, readable, beautiful, politically engaged and wholly accomplished. Swift is a ridiculously talented writer. * Adam Roberts *
