"ALTERNITIES is the best parallel universe novel to come
around in years and years. Michael P. Kube-McDowell creates a
startlingly believable universe and takes us on a thrilling
tour."
--David Brin, author of THE POSTMAN and STARTIDE RISING
"ALTERNITIES is an exciting novel of alternate worlds.
Kube- McDowell is an author to be reckoned with."
--Greg Bear, author of THE FORGE OF GOD and BLOOD MUSIC
"...engrossing...as gripping a page-turner as anything
I've read since SEVEN DAYS IN MAY...the work of a novelist who
has reached the peak of his storytelling powers."
--SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE
"...compellingly explores the ethics of power and
political responsibility."
--DETROIT FREE PRESS
"ALTERNITIES may well be the best parallel world novel of
this or any other year. One can only hope that, though none is
mentioned, there will be sequels."
--Gene DeWeese, MYSTERY SCENE
"Michael Kube-McDowell's new book is probably the
definitive parallel universe novel. The author successfully
combines careful speculation with the human dimension to create a
compelling, suspenseful novel."
--Janice Eisen, ABORIGINAL SF
"ALTERNITIES is nothing less than a political science
tour de force, an exercise in alternate history and sociology,
set against the dramatic countdown to a different America's
first-strike nuclear Armageddon. Turn off the TV and read this
one now; it's a keeper."
--Dean Lambe, OTHERREALMS
"Kube-McDowell keeps the tension high...His characters
and their worlds are convincing enough that their destiny
matters. ALTERNITIES will make you think -- and care."
--Faren Miller, LOCUS
"...a hell of a good book, the best SF I've read in a
long time."
--Crawford Kilian, author of THE EMPIRE OF TIME
"ALTERNITIES is a fine combination of science fiction and
political thriller...Kube-McDowell's writing is impressive."
--Martha Bartter, SFRA NEWSLETTER
"This book gave me as much old-fashioned enjoyment as
just about any other I've read this year...A great thriller, and
a very gripping piece of science fiction."
--Paul Kincaid, PAPERBACK INFERNO
