Now back in print--a powerful science fiction masterwork from the Nebula Award-winning author of Count Geiger's Blues.

By A Customer

This review is from: Ancient of Days (Paperback)

I feel a certain closeness to this tome, for I live in this little
Georgia town and operate the Restaurant featured in the tale. Michael
and his wife have been my land persons for over 10 years . . .

This gifted writer has the ability to take an impossibility and build
it into a charming character. His habaline grew so believibly in every
aspect that I felt a kinship to him and echoed his emotional experiences
as they occured.

If this is his statement of personal philosophy, Michael Bishop is a
very strong and admirable person! Treat yourself to a well-written story
that will leave a lasting impression with you.
