Daughter of Elysium
A richly imagined, intellectually fascinating exploration of cultures, ecology, and family. Less plot-driven than *A Door Into Ocean*, but just as rewarding for readers who love getting lost in a world and its ideas.
A Door Into Ocean
On an ocean-covered moon, an all-female society of gifted biologists faces a growing threat from a militaristic civilization. An extraordinary exploration of ecology, identity, culture, and nonviolent resistance, with rich characterization and a gripping second half that was almost too tense for me.
Regenesis
Four loosely connected novellas follow a misanthropic ecological scientist working to preserve animal life across the galaxy. Rich in real science, surprising emotion, and occasional delightful weirdness, Regenesis left me wishing there were more.
The Prince of Whales
A singing whale, predatory orca music managers, nautical puns, and a quest to save the ocean. An utterly ridiculous children's fantasy that's goofy in all the right ways—and surprisingly entertaining for adults.
Killer Pine
A miniature secret agent investigates a dying Canadian forest in a surprisingly beautiful novel that turns insects, ordinary landscapes, and even mutant termites into sources of wonder.
