Melissa Scott recommends
A Blackened Mirror (2023)
(Memoirs of the Borgia Sibyl, book 1)
Jo Graham
"Once again, Graham proves herself a master of historical fantasy - this time, the Italian Renaissance, portrayed in all its glorious complexity. Giulia Farnese is the ideal protagonist, ardent, ambitious, sharp of wit and tongue, willing to risk everything."
Neptune Crossing (1994)
(Chaos Chronicles, book 1)
Jeffrey A Carver
"Neptune Crossing gives the reader solid science, a complex and believable protagonist - an ordinary man rising to extraordinary circumstances - and an alien presence that is at once convincingly strange and deeply real. I'm really glad to have read this one."
