A thrilling read.” —Max Gladstone, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author“Wil McCarthy’s skill at crafting a believable, deeply science-grounded future is on full display. He brings us the mother of all locked-room mysteries wrapped in a vision of lunar colonization that rings a bit more true than we might be comfortable with. Small, gritty moments of inspired futurism pepper Poor Man’s Sky and remind us that no matter where we go, our human nature follows.” —Kimberly Unger, author of The Extractionist and NucleationAbout Rich Man's Sky :“Action SF built on a hard foundation of cutting-edge science.” —Walter Jon Williams“An action-crammed story that darts at hyper-speed from Burning Man, Nevada, to Suriname to a convent on the Moon to an orbiting colony that’s clearly up to something. A jam-packed adventure fizzing with mind-blowing concepts, and a great read!” —Connie Willis“A hard science fiction tour de force, populated by memorable characters in a tale of intrigue, adventure, and irresistible market forces.” —Linda NagataAbout “. . . gripping and . . . grounded in archaeology.” — Publishers Weekly“. . . plenty of verisimilitude . . . superbly intriguing and captivating . . . bravura historical recreations, full of conjectural material. . . . Presenting us with a colorful cast of characters from across the millennia who have thick and rich existences, and affirming that the cosmic stream of life flows forcefully despite all small blockades, McCarthy has written a novel that looks both forwards and backwards, thus making a stellar return to the field.” — LocusAbout Wil “McCarthy is an entertaining, intelligent, amusing writer, with Heinlein’s knack for breakneck plotting and, at the same time, Clarke’s thoughtfulness.” — Booklist“Imagination really is the only limit.” — The New York Times“The future as McCarthy sees it is a wondrous place.” — Publishers Weekly“A bright light on the SF horizon.” —David Brin“Wil McCarthy demonstrates that he has a sharp intelligence, a galaxy-spanning imagination, and the solid scientific background to make it all work.” —Connie Willis“In nearly every passage, we get another slice of the science of McCarthy’s construction, and a deeper sense of danger and foreboding . . . McCarthy develops considerable tension.” — San Diego Union-Tribune“An ingenious yarn with challenging ideas, well-handled technical details, and plenty of twists and turns.” — Kirkus"McCarthy's writing is prescient and engaging.
