In short, Yesterday's Kin was a joy to read. Not only was the prose easily digested, but the scientific speculation and facts behind the story really helped in raising enjoyment. A thoroughly recommended novel." — SFF World . . . fascinating, intelligent and intuitive. . . . Yesterday's Kin is highly recommended. — Nerds in Babeland Praise for Nancy Kress "Kress, a witty and engaging writer, creates chilling suspense as twisty as a DNA double helix." — Publishers Weekly "Her style is devilishly inventive...." —CNN.com Nancy Kress is one of the best science-fiction writers working today. Her use of science is tricky and thought-provoking, her command of fiction sharp and full of feeling." —Kim Stanley Robinson, author of the Mars Trilogy and The Years of Rice and Salt Praise for After the Fall, Before the Fall, During the Fall Nebula- and Hugo-winner Kress mixes time travel, global catastrophe, and mysterious aliens in this strong post-apocalyptic tale....

Miller, Jr.'s classic A Canticle for Leibowitz , and that is saying something." —Paul Goat Allen, Barnes & Noble.com An ecological apocalypse so real that it's like a three-dimensional object that can be viewed from all sides." —Ted Kosmatka, author of The Games and The Ascendant ...haunting, memorable.... Absolutely recommended." — The Book Smugglers Superstar SF and fantasy author Nancy Kress returns with After the Fall, Before the Fall, During the Fall , an elegant novella that combines several wildly different science fiction ideas into a tight package." — Tor.com ...three narrative lines eventually converge and complement each other, and Kress handles this with her usual superior craftsmanship." — Locus This is Nancy Kress in top form, but more importantly, this is SF done right....

There's a cloud of spores heading for Earth, and the aliens (dubbed Denebs despite coming from another star entirely) have firsthand experience dealing with it. In exchange for the technology that made their interstellar travel possible, the aliens want human help in curing the plague caused by the spores that have already destroyed two of their own colony worlds. Geneticist Marianne Jenner is one of the scientists who have been asked aboard the alien station, but even among her own family there is a difference of opinion about whether these extraterrestrials can be trusted. Verdict: Kress has proven that she can pack a huge amount of story into a small container (as with 2013's title After the Fall Before the Fall, During the Fall ), and here the author expertly explores one family's experience of alien visitation." — Library Journal In short, Yesterday's Kin was a joy to read.

Wolfe, Chicago Tribune Nancy Kress delivers one of the strongest stories of the year to date....
