Praise for Tomorrow’s Kin
Washington Post Best New Science Fiction for Summer
“Tomorrow’s Kin’s begins in a way that readers of her earlier writing and Sir Arthur C Clarke’s Childhood’s End will recognise—the arrival to Earth of aliens—but then, like the best of Clarke, transcends from this to something new and contemporary.”—SFF World
“A refreshingly original piece of science fiction.”—Tor.com
“Kress mixes contemporary issues of isolationism and refugee status with classic SF first-contact tropes, threaded neatly with solid scientific theory and speculation.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A solid, riveting and fast-paced tale.”—RT Book Reviews (5 stars out of 5)
Praise for the Hugo Award-winning Yesterday’s Kin
“Kress has proven that she can pack a huge amount of story into a small container, and here the author expertly explores one family’s experience of alien visitation.”—Library Journal
“Sparely constructed and cleverly resolved, Yesterday’s Kin provides everything readers need for an immersive plunge into a frightening, fascinating and inescapable predicament.”—Seattle Times
“Hard Science Fiction is a thing! And Nancy Kress blew this one completely out of the park.”—Book Ink Reviews
“If you’re looking for a solid piece of hard SF, this looks like the start of an exciting new series.”—Sci-Fi and Fantasy Review
“Engaging”—Kirkus Reviews
“Skillfully written.”—Fantasy Book Cafe
“Nancy Kress delivers one of the strongest stories of the year to date…. As with all of Kress’s work, this is very nicely crafted, with well-paced prose that carries you through the story, complex human characters, a compelling and conflict-driven human story, a clever twist partway through, and an even cleverer twist at the end.”—Gardner Dozois, editor of The Year’s Best Science Fiction series
