The Islanders
"Christopher Priest has long been the sort of author critics tend to whip out the serious descriptors for. . . . Judging only on the basis of this mesmeric travel guide to "an endless sprawl of lovely islands," I would not for a second hesitate to declare Priest a giant of the genre."  —Strange Horizons"One of the most complex, challenging and satisfying fictions from one of our finest novelists."  —Telegraph"Priest demonstrates once more his ability to surprise and dazzle with this twisty novel in which nothing is ever as straightforward as it appears."  —Library Journal "Entirely unforgettable."  —Publishers Weekly
