Description: Praise for Shower of Stones : "Jernigan's prose skill is sufficient to rank him among speculative fiction's rising stars. . .Those who enjoyed the intricate worldbuilding in No Return will appreciate an even greater panoramic view of Jeroun; those who preferred the gory battle scenes will not leave disappointed, either." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for No Return : "Pure genius... A visionary, violent, sexually charged, mystical novel." --David Anthony Durham, Campbell Award-winning author of the Acacia Trilogy "The most daring debut novel of 2013." -- Staffer's Book Review "A science-fantasy epic that's as of a much perverse hybrid as it is an homage to an earlier era when those genres weren't so strictly segregated ... pulls no punches in its rich, visceral depictions of sexuality, martial arts, punk energy, and the philosophical quandaries of power and identity that speculative fiction uniquely exploits--and that few up-and-coming speculative writers outside Jernigan tackle with such guts." --Jason Heller, The A.V. Club " No Return needs to be noticed. There is so much more to it than the accoutrement would imply. Populated with a fair amount of face punching, as coded by the visceral cover, it contains a tenderness and at times overt eroticism that's often ignored in science fiction and fantasy. Zachary Jernigan has something unique to say, a voice we're not hearing from anywhere else. I dearly hope more readers, and award aficionados, take an opportunity to listen to him." --Justin Landon, Tor.com
