Description:
The science fiction storytelling of Mike Resnick has been praised as "thought-provoking, imaginative, and above all galactically grand" by the Los Angeles Times and "ironic, inventive, and very readable" by Publishers Weekly. All of these qualities are in abundant evidence in KIRINYAGA: A FABLE OF UTOPIA, which New York Times-bestselling author Raymond E. Feist calls "wonderful" and Hugo Award-winning editor Gardner Dozois proclaims "profound, exciting and evocative". This compelling multi-award-winning tale is a gripping blend of complex character study, utopian drama, and fast-paced survival adventure. It is a masterpiece that every science fiction reader will want to own and savor for years to come.
