"Moving and nuanced characterizations distinguish this subtle look
at an Earth suffering the consequences of climate collapse."
--Publishers Weekly Starred Review "Bleak and hopeful in equal
measure, Clade is a striking paradox of a book--a soothing tale of
the coming apocalypse." --BookPage
"Bradley moves quickly through the lives of his protagonists,
sketching their stories during key moments in the unfolding
narrative. But the real story here is the all-too-realistic vision
of an ecosystem in the throes of collapse, portrayed in stunning,
sobering detail." --Booklist
"a stunningly beautiful novel, characterized as much by lyricism as
pointed critique of how humans are stewarding the planet."
--Chicago Review of Books
"Novels like Clade provide the lens we need to see our way
forward." --Locus
"entertaining, insightful, and all around a great book" --Gamers

Barnes & Noble SFF blog:
"haunting, strangely optimistic"
"Bradley's ability to find poetry amid brutal circumstances, his
focus on the undeniably human problems of his cast, and a hopeful
message of survival make Clade a melancholic celebration of
humanity, not an elegy"
"Bradley's novel is absorbing and depressing, as it is thoughtful
and fascinating"
"Clade is possibly the most beautiful, optimistic end of the world
novel ever written...equal parts beautiful, melancholy, and a
little bit hopeful."
"a cli-fi masterpiece" BookRiot
