Product Description
INTERIOR ILLUSTRATIONS BY JAMES O’BARR *
COVER ART BY JOHN BERGIN *
NEBULA AWARD NOMINEE ***
New Corrected February, 2011
A young man's odyssey of self discovery in a world eerily alien, yet hauntingly familiar. *
Set thirteen centuries in the future, A. A. Attanasio meticulously creates a brilliantly realized Earth, rich in detail and filled with beings brought to life with intense energy. *
In this strange and beautiful world, Sumner Kagan will change from an adolescent outcast to a warrior with god-like powers and in the process take us on an epic and transcendent journey. ***
“An instant classic.”—Washington Post *
“RADIX is sheer pleasure to read: brimming with living characters, splendid adventures....It is an exhilarating novel.”—Minneapolis Tribune *
“Attanasio invents language, customs, hardware, history, small animals, and more good supporting characters than most writers can get into five books.”—Newsday *
“Here stands a high talent; a truly amazing, original, towering talent.”—L.A. Times *
“Alive with enough zest and daring to rise above the sf/fantasy run-of-the-mill”—Kirkus Reviews
