"The author of “The Confluence Trilogy” (Child of the River; Ancient of Days; Shrine of Stars) tackles the complex subject of parallel dimensions in a multiuniverse sf thriller that showcases his lucid storytelling and his grasp of hard science. VERDICT Recalling the style and subject matter of the late Philip K. Dick, this title should appeal to McAuley’s growing readership and fans of alternate history."

The Library Journal has just given a stellar endorsement to Paul McAuley's Cowboy Angels:
"The author of “The Confluence Trilogy” (Child of the River; Ancient of Days; Shrine of Stars) tackles the complex subject of parallel dimensions in a multiuniverse sf thriller that showcases his lucid storytelling and his grasp of hard science. VERDICT Recalling the style and subject matter of the late Philip K. Dick, this title should appeal to McAuley’s growing readership and fans of alternate history."

I wonder if the title is a reference to the Dylan lyric from the song "Gates of Eden"?
ReplyDelete"Of war and peace the truth just twists
Its curfew gull just glides
Upon four-legged forest clouds
The cowboy angel rides
With his candle lit into the sun
Though its glow is waxed in black
All except when 'neath the trees of Eden
