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.”
