Reviews
Praise for Tomorrow's Kin
Washington Post Best New Science Fiction for Summer "Tomorrow's Kin's begins in a way that readers of her earlier writing and Sir Arthur C Clarke's Childhood's End will recognise--the arrival to Earth of aliens--but then, like the best of Clarke, transcends from this to something new and contemporary."--SFF World "A refreshingly original piece of science fiction."--Tor.com "Kress mixes contemporary issues of isolationism and refugee status with classic SF first-contact tropes, threaded neatly with solid scientific theory and speculation."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A solid, riveting and fast-paced tale."--RT Book Reviews (5 stars out of 5) Praise for the Hugo Award-winning Yesterday's Kin "Kress has proven that she can pack a huge amount of story into a small container, and here the author expertly explores one family's experience of alien visitation."--Library Journal "Sparely constructed and cleverly resolved, Yesterday's Kin provides everything readers need for an immersive plunge into a frightening, fascinating and inescapable predicament."--Seattle Times"Hard Science Fiction is a thing! And Nancy Kress blew this one completely out of the park."--Book Ink Reviews
"If you're looking for a solid piece of hard SF, this looks like the start of an exciting new series."--Sci-Fi and Fantasy Review "Engaging"--Kirkus Reviews
"Skillfully written."--Fantasy Book Cafe "Nancy Kress delivers one of the strongest stories of the year to date.... As with all of Kress's work, this is very nicely crafted, with well-paced prose that carries you through the story, complex human characters, a compelling and conflict-driven human story, a clever twist partway through, and an even cleverer twist at the end."--Gardner Dozois, editor of The Year's Best Science Fiction series
