“Goonan weaves experimental jazz, particle physics, and biochemistry into a compelling adventure through alternate universes.” —Entertainment Weekly

“In War Times is a novel of great historical reach…and profound ambition, expressed with an unmistakable ease of execution and a master’s sureness of touch. Kathleen Ann Goonan has come through to the kind of control that makes every startling fresh development—and this novel bristles with astonishing moments of development—seem inevitable.” —Peter Straub, bestselling and award-winning author of Talisman and Ghost Story

“Sometimes a book makes me stop and think after I’ve finished it. Occasionally a book will make me stop and think during it. Rarely will a book do both. In War Times is one of those rare books whose ideas live in your mind long after you’ve finished and make you think about them for a time afterward.” —SF Signal

“Paralleling the evolution of modern jazz with the creative ferment of science, Goonan delivers a bravura performance.” —Publishers Weekly
