Quotes and Reviews

"Frontera is hard-edged and colorful and relentless, and altogether a compelling read. Shiner paints his picture of the day after tomorrow with a gritty realism that makes you believe every minute of it."

—George R. R. Martin

"Extraordinarilly accomplished first novel...his pacing is brisk, his scientific extrapolation well-informed, and his characterization nothing short of outstanding...This is 'realism' of a sort seldom found in commercial or literary fiction; to find it in a first novel makes one eager for more."

Chicago Sun Times

"Well written...inspired...a breezy, terrific read."

Heavy Metal
