"Huets is an endlessly inventive writer, grounding speculations about the future in well-researched mythologies of the past as we know it. In these five tour-de-force tales, space crusaders and lonely Calibans sift through the cultural rubble on a hunt for hope and connection. Where personal history is written in tattoos and scars, the transcendent narratives of capital-H History are often literary, and they bring Big Events home to the heart: a Norse saga, a Shakespearean tragedy, a Wild West showdown. Huets' imaginative takes on our cultural touchstones help to explain how we crashed our way into a frightening future; they also promise that we are more than the sum of our technology and our losses." - Susann Cokal, The Kingdom of Little Wounds and Breath and Bones

"A fresh, smart and highly entertaining story collection." - Fred Leebron, The News Said It Was
