Reviews
A story that has something very real to say about virtual addiction * SF Crowsnest *
This book works perfectly well as a stand-alone... A good fast-paced space opera. The story works well and the progress from one discovery to the next feels unforced and credible. The characters of Ru and Micah are likeable and their skills complement each other... A pleasurable quick read' * Birmingham SF Group *
PRAISE FOR THIS ALIEN SHORE: 'C.S. Friedman borrows some big ideas from writers like Cordwainer Smith, Frank Herbert, and Samuel R. Delaney, and runs with them. Instead of stumbling under the burden, she succeeds in making the material her own' New York Times. 'Friedman keeps her tale moving at a vigorous pace that's boosted through an abundance of well-chosen details... It is likely to hold readers' interest tenaciously' Publishers Weekly. 'Once again Ms. Friedman offers us great richness in both concept and detail, ingeniously weaving together two strong plotlines and piquant characters into a superior reading experience' Romantic Times. 'A wide-ranging, action-packed space opera. This Alien Shore is guaranteed to entertain those who like to be swept up in an adventure with lots of characters, dangers, and revelations' * Science Fiction Chronicle *
