his own."--Los Angeles Times

emotional drama, Godzilla-esque monster carnage, or the high
adventure that comes only with riding the rails."--USA Today
"Superb . . . massively imaginative."--Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
"Riveting . . . a great adventure."--NPR
"Wildly inventive . . . Every sentence is packed with wit."--The
