NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BUZZFEED - A stunning epic that is at once a new vision of science fiction and a deeply moving love story, from the award-winning author of Redemption in Indigo "An engrossing picaresque quest, a love story, and a moving character study . . . [Karen] Lord is on a par with Ursula K. Le Guin." -- The Guardian A proud and reserved alien society finds its homeland destroyed in an unprovoked act of aggression, leaving the survivors no choice but to reach out to the indigenous humanoids of their adopted world, to whom they are distantly related. They wish to preserve their cherished way of life but discover that to protect their culture, they may have to change it forever. Now a man and a woman from opposite sides of these clashing societies must work together to save this vanishing race--and end up uncovering ancient mysteries with far-reaching ramifications. As their mission hangs in the balance, these unlikely partners--one cool and cerebral, the other fiery and impulsive--may find in each other their own destinies . . . and a force that transcends all. Includes two bonus short stories "[A] fascinating and thoughtful science fiction novel that examines] adaptation, social change, and human relationships. I've not read anything quite like it, which makes it that rare beast: a true original." --Kate Elliott, author of the Crown of Stars series and The Spiritwalker Trilogy "Reads like smooth jazz comfort food, deceptively familiar and easy going down, but subtly subversive." --Nalo Hopkinson, Los Angeles Review of Books "If you want to see science fiction doing something new and fascinating . . . then you shouldn't sleep on The Best of All Possible Worlds ." --io9 "Rewarding science fiction for emotional grown-ups." --Mysterious Galaxy "[A] marvelously formed universe." --The A.V. Club "A rewarding, touching and often funny exploration of the forms and functions of human culture." -- SFX " The Best of All Possible Worlds . . . poses an interesting question: What parts of you do you fight to preserve when everything you know suddenly changes?" --Associated Press
