No one balances the lighthearted and the unnerving more deftly than Cornell. --Daniel Abraham, co-author of The Expanse An elegant, elegiac examination of identity, fictionality, God and humanity itself--but also a very, very funny story about a crew of dopes. I love them all, except Bob. (In actuality Bob sort of broke my heart!) --Tamsyn Muir, author of the Locked Tomb series A scream disguised as a giggle. Reading Rosebud is like going on an absurdist romp through a sunlit meadow with Douglas Adams, only to suddenly realize that you're deep in the forest and ol' Dougie has just slipped a knife between your ribs. --Peter Watts, author the Firefall series and the Rifters series Cutting-edge science fiction from a writer at the very top of their game. --Gareth L. Powell, author of Embers of War A true voyage of the imagination, simultaneously mind-wrenching and laugh-out-loud funny. --Adrian Tchaikovsky Paul Cornell re-imagines the classic SF idea of first contact and turns it upside down and inside out--and then twists it into a multi-dimensional thing of wonder. --Michael Cassutt, writer for Z-Nation and co-author of The Astronaut Maker No word is wasted here, and [Rosebud] builds into a moving story about what it means to be human, even after you have been transformed into a form that decidedly isn't.--Locus
