Industry Reviews
This surprising retro-speculative romance from Steven Ramirez (author of Tell Me When I'm Dead) finds the son of renowned scientists adrift-and caught up in science-fiction and horror scenarios-after his parents' untimely death. What began as a sort of coming-of-age narrative about a college grad in the 1960s quickly evolves into a spirited, genre-crossing story that will keep readers riveted until the exciting conclusion. -BookLife
