Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
At the start of this entertaining speculative novel of lost races and time travelers from Roberson (Here, There and Everywhere), cosmonaut Akilina "Leena" Chirikova, aboard Vostok 7 in Earth orbit, enters a strange silvery gateway to a planet called Paragaea, where a single giant continent and inland sea host dinosaurs and giant sloths, as well as humans and such hybrid creatures as jaguar men, snake men and bird men. Luckily, Leena meets fellow dimension-hopper Hieronymus Bonaventure, a sailor from the Napoleonic era, and his jaguar-man partner, Prince Balam. Together the trio set off across a barbaric alternate Earth worthy of Edgar Rice Burroughs to find someone who understands the dimensional portals so Leena can return home. Roberson's style, in the best pulp manner, favors enthusiastic exposition and travelogue with dashes of swashbuckling. His colorful characters and setting transport readers to a simpler era when every story offered new worlds to explore. (May)

I've just launched a site promoting my forthcoming Pyr release, PARAGAEA: A PLANETARY ROMANCE, www.paragaea.com. The site includes a map of the world, web-exclusive character bios, and the first three chapters of the novel in their entirety.

In addition, I'm making available the full text of the prequel novel, SET THE SEAS ON FIRE, released under a Creative Commons license. This historical fantasy/nautical adventure/romance with Polynesian zombies introduces Hieronymus Bonaventure, lieutenant in His Majesty's Navy during the days of the Napoleonic Wars. Hieronymus is one of the protagonists of PARAGAEA, and while a reader needn't be familiar with the earlier story to appreciate the novel, those who are familiar with the earlier book will likely catch subtle references in the new novel that they might otherwise have missed.

Come on by and visit the site, and drop me a line at chris@chrisroberson.net to let me know what you think.
Best,
Chris Roberson

I don't know who you are, but I'm very happy to meet you.

My name is Chris Roberson, and I'm a writer and editor. If you're reading this message, it may well be because you're viewing the listing for one of the books I've written or edited, or else followed a link from one of those listings to my profile page. Whichever is the case, Howdy!

There's a little bit about me on my Amazon profile, including a brief bio and links to some of the books I've done. If you're interested in learning more about me, or reading sample chapters and stories, you might want to visit my personal website, www.chrisroberson.net. I also maintain a regularly updated blog on the site, Roberson's Interminable Ramble, which you might find entertaining.

If you've read one of my books or stories and have any questions or comments for me, postive or negative, I'd love to hear them. I'm an email junkie, and nothing brightens a day more than receiving correspondence from a reader. My email is chris@chrisroberson.net, and I try to answer all email as quickly as possible.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Chris Roberson
