Double Mobius Sphere
A deceptively dense first-contact mystery about a child prodigy, a starship crew, and humanity's place in the universe. Packed with mathematics, science, and philosophy, it's a fascinating exploration of big questions—even if the ending offers more heart than answers.
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.
The Many-Colored Land
A one-way ticket six million years into Earth's past, a cast of misfits, and the delicious terror of the unknown. A sprawling science-fantasy epic that initially blew me away.
Children of the Wind
The second Seven Citadels adventure deepens its wonderfully human characters, explores faith and philosophy without preaching, and introduces an argumentative companion and a delightful cat.
