Most Anticipated SFF Fiction Book by New Scientist, Gizmodo, Vol 1
Brooklyn, the A.V. Club, and Tor.com*"Terrifying, entertaining, and
thought-provoking. . . There's a spattering of gore, a connection
to a psychopathic serial killer, and a secret government agenda to
introduce alien matter into human genes--in other words, a little
something for everyone, science fiction fans and mystery fans
alike." -- Kirkus Reviews"Masterful . . . Combines a missing-person
case, romantic reconciliation, and a riveting sci-fi what-if . . .
A thoroughly satisfying near-future glimpse of both disaster and
salvation." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Don't miss. . .
Percy's novel defies categorization -- part sci-fi, part mystery,
wholly absorbing." --Star Tribune -- Star Tribune
(Minneapolis)"Award-winning author Benjamin Percy delivers both a
gripping science fiction thriller and a dazzling examination of a
planet--and a marriage--that have broken." -- The Nerd Daily"Mr.
Percy has given us a smart twist on the War of the Worlds plot. In
H.G. Wells's story, microbes are the key to defeating the Martian
war machines. In The Unfamiliar Garden, a different sort of weapon
will be necessary. But the seeds of disaster, you might say, are
quite literally already with us, just waiting for one more
evolutionary jump. Like viruses."
-- Wall Street Journal
