Description: "Award-winning author Benjamin Percy delivers both a gripping science fiction thriller and a dazzling examination of a planet--and a marriage--that have broken." - The Nerd Daily "Terrifying, entertaining, and thought-provoking. . . There's a spattering of gore, a connection to a psychopathic serial killer, and a secret government agenda to introduce alien matter into human genes--in other words, a little something for everyone, science fiction fans and mystery fans alike." - Kirkus Reviews "Masterful . . . Combines a missing-person case, romantic reconciliation, and a riveting sci-fi what-if . . . A thoroughly satisfying near-future glimpse of both disaster and salvation." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Don't miss. . . Percy's novel defies categorization -- part sci-fi, part mystery, wholly absorbing." --Star Tribune - Star Tribune (Minneapolis) *Named a Most Anticipated SFF Fiction Book by New Scientist, Gizmodo, Vol 1 Brooklyn, the A.V. Club, and Tor.com* - *Named a Most Anticipated SFF Fiction Book by New Scientist, Gizmodo, Vol 1 Brooklyn, the A.V. Club, and Tor.com* "Mr. Percy has given us a smart twist on the War of the Worlds plot. In H.G. Wells's story, microbes are the key to defeating the Martian war machines. In The Unfamiliar Garden, a different sort of weapon will be necessary. But the seeds of disaster, you might say, are quite literally already with us, just waiting for one more evolutionary jump. Like viruses." - Wall Street Journal
