Praise for Carrie Vaughn

For The Bannerless: 2017 Winner of the Philip K. Dick Award

"Bannerless is both a fine murder mystery and a multi-layered look at a different kind of society." ―Analog Science Fiction & Fact

"Vaughn skillfully portrays a vastly altered future America that’s almost unrecognizable decades after its total collapse; the ... focus on sustainability and responsibility is unusual, thought-provoking, and very welcome." ―Publishers Weekly

"Amazing and compelling, Vaughn brings her deft characterization and humanity to bear on a post-apocalyptic world that is all too real." ―Tobias S. Buckell, bestselling author of Arctic Rising

For The Wild Dead

"[STARRED REVIEW] This thrilling postapocalyptic mystery, which demonstrates the author's wide range of style, will please Vaughn's many fans." ―Library Journal

"Enid is a capable, honest, relentless seeker of answers, and her investigation is reminiscent of classic hardboiled mysteries. Despite an almost palpable air of claustrophobic foreboding, this tale still manages to convey a sense of hope and optimism." ―Publishers Weekly

"Structurally, this is a standard police procedural; it’s the environment, the carefully constructed future society, that gives it a unique flavor. Beautifully execute―Booklist
