Thrawn: Treason (Star Wars) (Star Wars: Thrawn) by Timothy Zahn
“A satisfying tale of political intrigue . . . Thrawn’s observations
and tactical thinking are utterly captivating.”
“Coates balances the horrors of slavery against the fantastical. He
extends the idea of the gifts of the disenfranchised to include a kind of
superpower. But The Water Dancer is very much its own book, and its gestures
toward otherworldliness remain grounded. In the end, it is a novel interested
in the psychological effects of slavery, a grief that Coates is especially
adept at parsing. . . . In Coates’s world, an embrace can be a revelation, rare
and astonishing.”
“[A] thrilling addition to Clive Cussler’s bestselling series. . .
Burcell gets stronger each time out, which means so does Sam and Remi Fargo,
who are arguably Cussler’s best heroes going right now.”
“A dauntless exploration of the pathology of silence, an attempt to
unsnarl the dark knot of history, culture, fear and trauma that can render
conservative Arab-American women so visibly invisible…. The triumph of Rum’s
novel is that she refuses to measure her women against anything but their own
hearts and histories…. Both a love letter to storytelling and a careful object
lesson in its power.”
“Maden’s style meshes perfectly with the classic Clancy yarns, with global
action, struggle, suffering, and formidable foes who get what they deserve.
Another well-crafted and enjoyable escape from reality. The Ryans just keep on
saving the world.”
