Description: "This extraordinary science fiction epic, which delves deep into the perils of failing to learn from one's mistakes, is perfect for fans of big ideas and intimate reflections." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review ) "A lyrical and moving narrative of space travel, found families, and lost loves set against an evocative space-opera background." -- Booklist (starred review) "Reminiscent of Justin Cronin's The Passage , yet the journey itself evokes Bryce Courtenay's The Power of One , creating crossover appeal for readers who enjoy a bit of emotional attachment with their time travel . . .The story takes on a tone and depth that recalls an N.K. Jemisin novel." -- Library Journal "This powerful, suspenseful story asks us to consider what we'd sacrifice for progress--or for the ones we love." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) " The Vanished Birds strikes a breathless balance between the conceptually dazzling and the emotionally resonant, and it's in that balance that a bright new voice in genre fiction is born. Simon Jimenez has announced himself as a graceful, spellbinding storyteller." -- BookPage, starred review " The Vanished Birds finds an intimate heartbeat of longing in a saga of galactic progress and its crushing fallout. . . . A novel of vast scope that yet makes time for compassion, wonder, and poetry." --Indra Das, author of The Devourers "The future world-building is rich and smart, the prose assured, and the story both intensely personal and a blistering commentary on capitalism and colonialism. . . . Highly recommended." --Kate Elliott, author of Black Wolves
