REVIEWS

"Till Human Voices Wake Us manages the neat trick of being excellent Hard SF while grappling with the evolution of the narrative. Mark Budz has mapped the tools of Hard SF onto an Escherian surface for his story to follow, rewarding the reader with a change through which their own world view will be tilted a few degrees in return."

– Regina Schroeder, Booklist
