"Alaska. Aliens. The Anti-Christ. AWESOME! Marusek is in full form with this curveball tale about ETs, extremists, snowmobile chases and the meaning of life. Upon This Rock feels like The Puppet Masters crossed with Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. It's snarky, mind-blowing, wild and fun. Thoroughly engrossing." --Jeff Carlson, international bestselling author of The Frozen Sky". . . Marusek could be the one sci- fi writer in a million with the potential to make an increasingly indifferent audience care about the genre again . . ." --The New York Times Book Review"David Marusek is one of the best-kept secrets of science fiction, a wild talent with a Gibson-grade imagination and marvelous prose, and a keen sense of human drama that makes it all go." --Cory Doctorow, author of Walkaway: A Novel"Marusek's writing is ferociously smart, simultaneously horrific and funny, as he forces readers to stretch their imaginations and sympathies. Much of the fun in the story is in the telling rather than its destination . . . exciting and wonderful." --Publishers Weekly"David Marusek is an extraordinarily gifted new writer, with unique ears and eyes . . . Brims over with imaginative extrapolations." --Seattle-Post Intelligencer
