Description: "I'm not a big science-fiction fan, but I'll read anything with a story and a low geek factor. Wilson is a hell of a storyteller, and the geek factor in his books is zero. Like Battletsar Galactica on TV, this is SF that doesn't know it's SFThere's plenty of imagination here, as well as character and heart." --Stephen King on Spin "The long-anticipated marriage between the hard sf novel and the literary novel, resulting in an offspring possessing the robust ideational vigor of the former with the graceful narrative subtleties of the latter, might finally have occurred in the form of Robert Charles Wilson's Spin .Wilson does so many fine things, it's hard to know where to begin to praise him." -- The Washington Post "An astonishingly successful mélange of SF thriller, growing-up saga, tender love story, father-son conflict, ecological parable and apocalyptic fable in prose that sings the music of the spheres." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Spin "Robert Charles Wilson is one of the best science-fiction writers alive--a fact borne out in his latest work. Spin is the best science-fiction novel so far this year." -- Rocky Mountain News "Wide-ranging and well-crafted.Wilson's most ambitious and most successful novel to date." -- San Diego Union-Tribune on Spin " Spin is many things: psychological novel, technological thriller, apocalyptic picaresque, cosmological meditation. But it is, foremost, the first major SF novel of 2005, another triumph for Robert Charles Wilson in a long string of triumphs." -- Locus
