from Barnes and Noble:

Sean Stewart's previous novel, Mockingbird, was selected as a Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle, and one of the Best Fantasy Novels of the Year by Locus. Now in his most stunning novel yet, one of the most critically acclaimed fantasy writers of our time takes readers to Galveston-an island uprooted, and uplifted, by magic...

Fantasy novels don't get much better than Galveston. (Washington Post Book World)

Sturdy, can-do realism...It is a tribute to Sean Stewart's great skill...[A] triumph. (Washington Post Book World)

...Stewart's gently twisted humor saturates his plot as well as his language and imagery. (Salon.com)

Vivid, sometimes brutal narrative and life-sized characters...Eerie, enthralling, flavorsome, and Stewart's best by far. (Kirkus Reviews)

Intricately imagined 21st century Texas...terrific fun to read but will send shivers of recognition down many a spine. (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
