Echo of Worlds

Reviews

"A dazzling speculation on the many ways our world could have evolved, layered inside a thriller that will make your eardrums vibrate. M. R. Carey reveals the human (and non-human) cost extracted by the crumbling aspirations of a multiverse empire. I was charmed, disturbed, and fascinated by turns – and I couldn’t put this book down."

—Annalee Newitz, author of Autonomous and The Terraformers on infinity Gate “An immense achievement, an impeccably crafted book without a single word out of place.”—The New York Times on Infinity Gate "Big and bold... The writing is vivid, the pace is fast-moving."—Wall Street Journal on Infinity Gate "[A] brilliant dimension-hopping sci-fi thriller... Readers will be wowed." —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on Infinity Gate "The plot doesn’t map onto a traditional hero’s journey arc and feels all the fresher for it. Short, action-packed chapters keep the pace brisk, and each character we meet, however briefly, is vividly and empathetically drawn. A genuine treat for SF fans: an epic multiverse tale that moves like a thriller."—Kirkus (Starred Review) on Infinity Gate "Infinity Gate, with its in-depth science and rich characterization, is a must-read for sf fans."—Booklist (Starred Review) on Infinity Gate "Infinity Gate is a powerful exploration of the near-future, skillfully and seamlessly weaving different realities and different iterations of AI. In other hands, this might be messy, but Carey has the experience, imagination and verve to pull it off. A must-read!”—Tade Thompson, author of Rosewater on Infinity Gate "A master storyteller." —io9 on Infinity Gate “A fascinating window onto a dangerous and multifaceted universe.”—Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time on Infinity Gate “They say there’s nothing new under the sun. Well, M. R. Carey heard this and invented a whole new sun to put new things under. This is gripping, unrelenting, and absolutely unique. Top-notch science fiction, thrilling and thoughtful at the same time.”—Seanan McGuire, author of Every Heart a Doorway on Infinity Gate “M. R. Carey reaffifirms his place in the ranks of SF with this startlingly good novel. Fans of Adrian Tchaikovsky will love it.”—Paul Cornell on Infinity Gate "Carey writes with compassion and fire - strange and surprising and humane."
—Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls on The Boy on the Bridge "M.R. Carey hefts astonishing storytelling power with plainspoken language, heartbreaking choices, and sincerity like an arrow to the heart."

 —Locus on The Book of Koli "A thought-provoking and deeply engaging story ... profoundly and doggedly humane."—C. A. Fletcher on The Book of Koli "Heartfelt, remorseless and painfully human...as fresh as it is terrifying. A jewel."—Joss Whedon on The Girl With All the Gifts Expand reviews
