Description: Praise for Too Like the Lightning: "[An] awe-inspiring debut novel....It's a genius kind of energy, and it's infectious." --NPR on Too Like the Lightning "The best science fiction novel I've read in a long while, and it stands as powerful evidence that the sf genre is still a treasure box overflowing with wonders." --Robert Charles Wilson "This is the kind of science fiction that makes me excited all over again about what science fiction can do. Lots of books can knock you over and leave you reeling and dazzled when you're fifteen, but it takes something special to do the same thing to you at fifty. Too Like The Lightning and its sequels do that, over and over again." --Jo Walton "Thought-provoking, disturbing, occasionally perverted, and always entertaining. Worldbuilding at its richest." -- Kirkus , starred review, on Too Like the Lightning "Palmer has done a brilliant job with the pacing and keeping us in the close confidences of such a charming and deceitful narrator. The book seems like it burst onto the page fully formed. " -- Wired Praise for Seven Surrenders: "Palmer crafts one of the most compelling narrative voices around in describing this impossible, fascinating and plausibly contradictory world." -- RT Book Reviews , 4-1/2 stars "The eloquence of Palmer's reflections on social issues cannot be denied." -- Library Journal , starred review "Many-layered and engrossing." -- Publishers Weekly
