Fantastic Early Reviews for This Way to the End Times!

If you’re a fan of science fiction, you won’t want to miss THIS WAY TO THE END TIMES: Classic Tales of the Apocalypse edited by Robert Silverberg, one of science-fiction’s most beloved writers.  This collection of 21 gripping stories about the not-too-distant demise of the earth as we know it, will be out on October 25, 2016 from Three Rooms Press.

And what a collection! From rare classic tales by science-fiction legends Jules Vernes and Olaf Stapledon, intense works by Grand Masters Connie Willis, Jack Vance, Ursula K. Le Guin and Brian W. Aldiss, to haunting stories by contemporary authors Dale Bailey, Karen Haber, Alvaro Zinos-Amaro, and Megan Arkenberg, THIS WAY TO THE END TIMES paves the road to the fantastical future, alternating humor with grit, and hope with ghastly post-apocalyptic visions.

Early reviews from the book trade publications have been fantastic!

Booklist gave it a starred review and says, “With its range of contributors, this is a much needed volume that will both satisfy the high demand for apocalyptic tales and remind readers of the actual breadth and depth of this literature of the end of the world.”

Publishers Weekly also gave it a starred review and says, “These stunning stories contemplate survival while question whether life is worth saving.”

And Kirkus Reviews says “the variety of ways in which these stories choose to end the world offers a great deal—nightmarish, funny, lonely, or hopeful—for the imagination. Wonderfully written, surprisingly varied apocalyptic tales”

Add THIS WAY TO THE END TIMES to your Fall must-read list.  You can pre-order on Amazon today!

NEXUS sells out on Amazon on launch day

The release of NEXUS by Ramez Naam has gone amazingly well. NEXUS made it to #1 on Amazon’s “Hot New Science Fiction” list and #50 on their overall Fiction list. Amazon completely sold out all of their physical stock on launch day and then almost did it again a second time. The book is off to a great start.

Books sell, in the long run, by word of mouth. NEXUS has gotten amazing reviews at BoingBoing, Wired, Ars Technica, The Wall Street Journal, and more. But all of those will have their impact only in the very beginning. What matters after the first few months is whether people who read the book recommend it to each other. So far that looks to be going well – on Amazon the book already has almost 80 customer reviews, more than three quarters of them five stars, and the rest all four stars.

So, in summary: thank you, thank you, thank you for helping get NEXUS off to an amazing start! It’s been a great way to kick off the new year.

Ars Technica review of NEXUS

Ars Technica calls Ramez Naam’s NEXUS “Nexus “a lightning bolt of a novel, with a focus on action and plotting that will remind readers of some of the best novels from the late Michael Crichton.”
