Reviews

"A refreshing burst of the real world. It is the first truly global Spec/Fic book of the 21st century."
- Shawn Taylor, Nerds of Color

"Ayize's imagination will mess with yours, and the world won't ever look quite the same again."
–Nalo
Hopkinson

"Ayize Jama-Everett has brewed a voodoo cauldron of Sci-Fi,
Romance, Crime, and Superhero Comic, to provide us with a true gestalt
of understanding, offering us both a new definition of "family" and a
world view on the universality of human conduct. The Liminal People–as
obviously intended–will draw different reactions from different
readers. But none of them will stop reading until its cataclysmic
ending."
–Andrew Vachss

"The action sequences are smartly orchestrated, but it is Taggert's
quest to retrieve his own soul that gives The Liminal People its
oomph. Jama-Everett has done a stellar job of creating a setup that
promises even greater rewards in future volumes."
San Francisco Chronicle

"Every once in awhile, a first novel catches you by surprise. Sometimes
it's the style and sometimes it's the pure originality or unique mixing
of influences. In the case of Ayize Jama-Everett's The Liminal People, the pleasure comes from all of the above."
–Jeff VanderMeer
