Description:
Review "Like a dive into the eye of a storm."--The Washington Post Book World on When Gravity Fails"Fast, cool, clever, beautifully written, absolutely authoritative. A kind of cyberpunk Raymond Chandler book with dashes of Roger Zelazny, Ian Fleming, and Scheherezade--but altogether original."--Robert Silverberg on When Gravity Fails "Ingenious, layered, sophisticated, and consistently bloodcurdling, When Gravity Fails kept me awake long after I had finished reading it. --Spider Robinson"Great entertainment...Places Effinger in the company of writers like Gibson." --Fantasy Review on When Gravity Fails"Superior science fiction . . . among the best I've come across."--The Denver Post on When Gravity Fails"A brilliantly written, knife-edged futuristic detective story . . . destined to be the year's most intense and emotionally involving SF work."--Houston Post on When Gravity Fails"Wry and black and savage... there's a knife behind every smile."-- George R. R. Martin on When Gravity Fails"Muscular, convincing, yet continuously surprising."--Richard A. Lupoff on When Gravity Fails"One of the best cyberpunk novels I've read . . . Effinger's prose is terse, direct, vivid and often laced with an enchanting sense of humor . . . this is only part of the book's delightful texture . . . gives you a real sense of what it's like to be an old-fashioned gumshoe in the seedy backreaches of a futuristic arab nation."--The Providence Sunday Journal on When Gravity Fails"Wry, inventive, nearly hallucinatory . . . a well-written, baroque riff on the time-honored themes of Raymond Chandler."--Publisher's Weekly on When Gravity Fails"This is the fourth or fifth time I've been asked to give a public comment on an Effinger book; and each time I've done it; and each time I've said you people are cheating yourselves if you don't forego food and rent to pick up on Effinger's work. Now, *this* time, will you for pete's sake listen to me and buy When Gravity Fails? It's as crazy as a spider on ice skates, plain old terrific; and if you don't pay attention I'll have to get tough with you! We have your childen and your dog. Buy, read and marvel...or else."-- Harlan Ellison on When Gravity Fails --This text refers to the edition. About the Author A winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards, George Alec Effinger was the author of What Entropy Means to Me and Schrodinger's Kitten. He died in 2002. --This text refers to the edition.
