The journey of Verity across the wonderfully altered landscape of mid-America began in Queen City Jazz: “A dizzying novel that takes full advantage of the creative potential of nanotech,” said The New York Times. Now it continues down the river in Mississippi Blues. Verity takes the wildest cast of characters since Philip José Farmer’s Riverworld, both living and resurrected, down the river to possible salvation in New Orleans and beyond in a great SF epic.
“One of the more important novels of the year.” —Locus
“A rousing hallucinatory riverboat journey from Cincinnati to New Orleans through the history and future of America, propelled by nanotechnology, crammed with wonderfully eccentric characters and melodious with classic blues lyrics.” —Phyllis Gotlieb
