"""Haunting and heartfelt, violent and vibrant.""-Alix E. Harrow

Deallocate all implications, Fortran harrows all the nations.

In a long-ago war, the all-powerful A.I. ruler of the Voluntary State of Tennessee-Athena Parthenus, Queen of Reason-invaded and decimated the American Southeast. Possessing the ability to infect and corrupt the surrounding environment with nanotechnology, she transformed flora, fauna, and the very ground itself into bio-mechanical weapons of war.

Marcia, a former captain from Kentucky, experienced first-hand the terrifying, mind-twisting capabilities of Athena's creatures. Now back in the Commonwealth, her retirement is cut short by the arrival of federal troops in her tiny, isolated town. One of Athena's most powerful weapons may still be buried nearby. And they need Marcia's help to find it."

Reviews for These Prisoning Hills

[Christopher] Rowe is one of the finest and most humane writers of science fiction working today. His territory lies within the ruptured space where technology, humanity, and the natural world intersect, and his subject matter is trauma and the possibility of restoration, which he addresses with both tenderness and clinical skill. --Kelly Link These Prisoning Hills is just as haunted and heartfelt, as violent and vibrant, as the Bluegrass State itself. --Alix E. Harrow Meticulous prose, a generous heart, and a wild imagination--this is what we expect from Christopher Rowe, and this is what he continues to provide. --Karen Joy Fowler Christopher Rowe's future Kentucky is at once familiar and delightfully, cinematically strange. --Sarah Pinsker Some of the richest landscapes I've walked are ones that only Christopher Rowe can show me. Among the proud, brave irregulars of 21st-century fiction, Rowe is our most visionary mapmaker. I'd follow him anywhere!--Andy Duncan
