“Loved it! I found myself a little bored in some parts, but the overall novel was so amazing that it didn't matter.”

“I agree with all the comments on the back of the book. Hugely imaginative, a wild ride, an incisive social commentary on war--war that makes things Go Away and even weirder things Reify afterwards--haunting sci-fi, and of course a crazy ninja and mime battle. There are a number of great twists, too. This book is a lot of fun, highly recommended.”

“Wow. WOW! I never, ever had the foggiest idea what would happen next, and it was great! It was kinda rough to get into it, but once it had me I just couldn't stop. I felt like I had to earn the right to find out what happened in the end by paying close attention to the lengthy tangents of seemingly irrelevant information that was the bulk of the book...but it was SO very worth it. Loved it - this one's going on my favorites list. Also, be prepared to giggle to yourself. A lot. Like, a little too much.”

But... The first rule of The Gone-Away World is: You do not talk about The Gone-Away World.”“Great fun”

“This isn't really scince fiction at its core, but uses scince fiction as a route to get its job done. I can't wait until a year or so from now when I don't remember so much of the book and I can read it again.”
