Michael Swanwick recommends
The Navigating Fox (2023)
Christopher Rowe
"The Navigating Fox is as charming a story as the fox himself is a narrator. I applaud this, the first, I hope, of many adventures to come."
The Dragon House (2018)
Darrell Schweitzer
"This is the house i should have grown up in! Schweitzer's fantasy is cleanly written, original, and great fun to read."
First Strike (2003)
(HALO, book 3)
Eric Nylund
"Eric Nylund writes clean; plays hard and knows how to plot."
