Paise for Connie Willis A novelist who can plot like Agatha Christie and whose books possess a bounce and stylishness that Preston Sturges might envy. -The Washington Post One of America's finest writers . . . Willis can tell a story so packed with thrills, comedy, drama and a bit of red herring that the result is apt to satisfy the most discriminating, and hungry, reader. -The Denver Post A wit with a common touch who's read more great books, and makes better use of them in her work, than two or three lit professors put together. -Newsday A national treasure. -San Antonio Express-News Willis can tell a story like no other. . . . One of her specialties is sparkling, rapid-fire dialogue; another, suspenseful plotting; and yet another, dramatic scenes so fierce that they burn like after-images in the reader's memory. -The Village Voice Willis's fiction is one of the most intelligent delights of our genre. -Locus [Willis's] six Nebula Awards and ten Hugo Awards confirm her eminence in speculative fiction, but her versatile range and forthright wit wouldn't be out of place in the literary mainstream. -Publishers Weekly
