Critics Review

“These forty-one powerful stories cover Shiner’s career
across three decades and multiple genres, showcasing hard-edged, often
political genre fiction at its finest. The oft-reprinted ‘The War at Home,’ ‘The
Circle,’ and ‘Till Human Voices Wake Us’ remain worth reading, but the less
familiar tales really make this collection stand out…Shiner never fails to
astound, and this collection highlights everything that makes him one of today’s
best storytellers.”
