Reviews
Praise for Summerland "While the conspiracies and plots unfold in classic spy-story fashion, the wildly inventive setting gives the novel a unique kind of freshness." -- Chicago Tribune "Wildly imaginative...the world building here is exquisite...it should appeal equally to readers of fantasy and to those who enjoy alternate-history fiction set during the WWII years." -- Booklist "A jaw-dropping, knowing, hyperintelligent yarn." -- Kirkus "[Rajaniemi] smoothly transitions to this magical dieselpunk tale (airships battle "ectoflyers" in soul-powered flight suits) with all his technical skill in evidence." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Hannu Rajaniemi "The best first SF novel I've read in years. Hard to admit, but I think he's better at this stuff than I am." --Charles Stross on The Quantum Thief "Spectacularly and convincingly inventive, assured and wholly spellbinding: one of the most impressive debuts in years." -- Kirkus Reviews, s tarred review, on The Quantum Thief "A stellar debut." -- Publishers Weekly, s tarred review, on The Quantum Thief "Outstanding... A storytelling skill rarely found from even the most experienced authors." -- Library Journal, s tarred review, on The Quantum Thief "Rajaniemi has spectacularly delivered on the promise that this is likely to be the most important SF novel we'll see this year." -- Locus on The Quantum Thief "Absolutely incredible... Endlessly inventive and compulsively readable. It's one of the best books of the year." -- RT Book Reviews, Top Pick, on The Quantum Thief " Magnificent...pure magic." --NPR on Collected Fiction "The best and most original debut anthology since Angela Carter's Fireworks 40 years ago." -- The Wall Street Journal on Collected Fiction
