Nick Wood’s short stories are powerful, impassioned visions of worlds and worldviews remade by way of redemptive engagement with the spirits of the earth and the earth of the spirit.

Wood’s characterization is excellent. Strange Horizons

This is a gut-puncher of a novel; original, brilliantly written, and a page-turner of note. Sarah Lotz on Bridges

Politically acute and powerful, with its heart in the right place… in many ways a ‘textbook story’, because it’s so well done. Ian Watson on Bridges
