In both cases, the author has created an atmosphere that is truly unique to the story being told. In both cases, the atmosphere is just as much a character in the book as anyone... the whole setting is so unusual and unsettling that everything that happens has a sense of unease about it." --John Klima, editor Electric Velocipede, Editor's Choice OWW February 2008"Nice irony and ties to space westerns.
