Trade Review"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 "Ayize's imagination will mess with yours, and the world won't ever look quite the same again." --Nalo Hopkinson "The Liminal People has the pleasures of classic sf while being astonishingly contemporary and savvy." --Maureen F. McHugh "Fast and sleek and powerful--a skillful and unique mix of supernatural adventure and lived-in, persuasive, often moving noir." --Felix Gilman, author of The Half-Made World
