Isles of the Forsaken

“In fantasy novels, we hope for many things—vivid and unfamiliar landscapes, complicated and compelling characters, unexpected plot twists, high stakes and huge risks. Gilman delivers all of the above and more. This is a smart and engrossing political novel about imperialism and the clash of cultures in a fascinating new world. The best news? Apparently there will be more. Write like the wind, Gilman!”
—Karen Joy Fowler, author of What I Didn’t See

“Vivid world-building, fascinating characters, and a rich, complex story—I love this book!”
—Kij Johnson, Nebula and World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Fox Woman

From the reviews of Halfway Human:

“Beauty, pain, wit, and wisdom all suffuse this powerful novel, as it uses imagined futures to reveal our own world in starkest clarity . . . and yes, with a whisper of hope.” —Faren Miller, Locus

“Pure and simple, this is a fantastic novel; it’s evocative, intriguing and thought provoking. I can say without a doubt Halfway Human is the best book I’ve read this year. . . . Mark my words, I smell a Hugo in this author’s future.” —Jim Killen, Explorations (Barnes & Noble)
