Recensione:

Praise for Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days

“Fans of Reynolds’s brand of noirish sci-fi will find enjoyment here.”—The Kansas City Star

“Diamond Dogs is a rare fusion of hard SF and splatter-gore horror, a disturbing tale which nonetheless tempts the reader to keep going...Turquoise Days is an extraordinarily well-written novella, and a commendable addition to Reynolds’s richly imagined universe.”—SciFi Dimensions

“Astronomer Reynolds’s two far-future space exploration novellas...confirm his mastery of noir SF...brilliantly executed parables.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Nonstop thrills...showcases Reynolds’s flair for exotic locales, startling concepts, and crisp language.”—Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine

“[Diamond Dogs is an] exhilarating first person account space caper [that] feels more like a gothic planetary noir with fabulous amoral mercenary antiheroes...[Turquoise Days is an] exciting outer space thriller [that] hooks the audience...The well written stories keep the audience locked into one sitting...fabulous.”—Midwest Book Review

“Reynolds illuminates more of his vividly conceived universe and explores the individuals and groups that bring those worlds to life.”—Library Journal
