Saltcrop

Praise for Saltcrop: ""The blighted and ruined landscapes the Shimizu sisters traverse, and the disease-struck, semi-feral communities they encounter, all feel dangerously nearby, a world three minutes into the the future of our present disastrous trajectory. The love they bear for each other, even if it’s often tangled up in old pains and many mutual irritations, make even that future feel survivable. Get a copy of Saltcrop for all the perpetually warring siblings you know."" Vajra Chandrasekera, author of the Nebula, Ignyte, Crawford, and Locus award-winning The Saint of Bright Doors Praise for Yume Kitasei: ""Come to The Stardust Grail for Indiana Jones-style outer space heist adventure, stay for the sensitively drawn characters and thoughtful exploration of other forms of life far beyond our own"" Veronica Roth, New York Times bestselling author of Chosen Ones ""The Stardust Grail is a puzzle box of a book, one that invites readers into an ambitious and endlessly imaginative adventure. A strange, surreal, and startlingly tender glimpse into worlds beyond our own."" Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief ""The Stardust Grail is a boisterous journey, rife with protean planets, intriguing spaceports, and remarkable life forms. The stakes are high. The characters are engaging and delightful. The plot is fast-paced and action-packed. But at its core, the book is also an exploration of understanding, forgiveness, and the importance of being true to our friends, and ourselves. For any fan of space adventures, this book is a must-read."" –Emily Jane, USA Today bestselling author of On Earth as it Is on Television ""Both an intimate character portrait and a thriller."" Mary Robinette Kowal, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards ""In The Deep Sky, Kitasei puts us under the microscope not in judgment but with a fair and caring eye; she looks for the best in us."" C. L. Clark, author of The Unbroken ""Smart, emotionally mature, quick-paced"" Associated Press
