Reviews

"Most writers' alternate universes are fun to visit, but Kage Baker's is one I wouldn't mind moving to: the Barsoom of Edgar Rice Burroughs . . . seen through the eyes of a writer far more poetic, vastly more scientifically literate, and with an infinitely superior sense of humor. Even as science-fictional taverns go, the Empress of Mars is memorable, a joint I hope I'll be able to return to many times."
--Spider Robinson, author of "Very Hard Choices""
""For my money, "The Empress of Mars" is the one to read."
--Mike Resnick, author of "Starship: Rebel"
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns on all of Mars, the Empress is the one to visit. Let's raise a round to Kage Baker."
--Jack McDevitt, author of "The Devil's Eye"
