PRAISE FOR TIM PRATT
“Part high adventure and part travelogue of alien locales, this sci-fi romp has plenty of YA crossover appeal and will prove just the thing for mature readers who appreciate a classic Golden Age vibe.”
– Publishers Weekly
“Readers will sympathize with Zax and his fellow travelers as they are yanked into new worlds every few pages or even every few sentences. Pratt’s skillful worldbuilding will appeal to sf fans.”
– Library Journal
“This is a gentle, slightly old-fashioned picaresque that made me think of Doctor Who, or characters created by Douglas Adams. It’s welcome escapist fare in these stressful times.”
– the Guardian
“High-stakes action”
– Locus
“Tim Pratt is in the vanguard of the next generation of master American fantasists.”
– Jay Lake, John W Campbell Award-winning author of Into the Gardens of Sweet Night
“A compelling tale reminiscent of the episodic explorations of Doctor Who… Pratt uses his rich imagination to craft a vast variety of possibilities.”
– Booklist
“Tim Pratt lures you in with his writing style and penchant for the dramatic and dangerous.”
– British Fantasy Society
