It is a ride and a fun one to boot!" - Runalong the Shelves''I Give You the Moon describes in good hard-SF tradition technologies for trying to clean the environment - giant machines filtering the seas, mechanical crabs scouring the seabed - but it's also a moving tale of a boy in Africa who yearns to be a Viking." - Gary K. Wolfe in Locus"Madswitch: A female ex-scientist takes steps to 'correct' her dysfunctional family. An enjoyable psychological tale of the science of horror." - Review Graveyard"On Skybolt Mountain: The witch Lettice Beaverley has gotten herself in trouble. Here is the sort of story I'd have liked to see more of... The magic is immediately present and well-realized, its elements are credible and clearly potent, fearsomely so. And Lettice is a well-drawn character, growing slowly into her destined role. RECOMMENDED." - Lois Tilton, Locus Online

The gap between the worlds was so thin in places, you could almost step across without meaning to... Lila the cyborg, Teazle the demon, and Zal the elf - star-crossed lovers - have all been dealt a terrible hand in the final game of the series. Law and order, not to the fabric of space and time, are slowly falling apart at the seams. Each one of them is now more a feature of the past than the present: legends in their own lunchtime. Meanwhile the dead have started to return, in ever-increasing numbers. But there are a few wild cards still left in the deck. Will it be a full house, or the dead man's hand again, once everything is in play? This is the conclusion to the five-book Quantum Gravity series, set in a world which incorporates legend, myth and magic while maintaining a strict love affair with scientific and psychological reality. Enter at your own risk.

Lila Black: half woman, half robot, all attitude, is going back to the future . . . Fifty years have passed since the third volume of high-octane, high-magic, high-tech adventures. After being tricked by one of the greater fae Lila Black finds home much altered in her absence. The human world has survived the reign of a faery invasion, but not without casualties, and now darker forces are at work. Her husband's been framed for murder. Her sister is dead. Reality itself is beginning to break down. If she doesn't find out who is behind all this then there might not be much future left for anyone. "This is bright, fast-moving and accessible SF that mixes in fantasy, and a cool cult-lit sensibility, to create a series that will appeal to all fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Peter Hamilton alike." (Gollancz, UK)

It's a whole new world after the Quantum Bomb. Elves, demons, ghosts and elementals have come to stay. Special Agent Lila Black is also new: half-robot, part-AI, nuclear-fuelled and conflicted as hell. It's good there's the spirit of a necromancer living in her chest to keep her on track. A mission to Daemonia is a voyage to a new, personal heart of darkness however...Justina Robson's superb series continues, combining her trademark themes of the nature of identity and reality, magic and technology.
