My sci-fi, eco, Paleoterrific novel Knocking on Heaven's Door is being released this January 6. Some early readers have written nice reviews. This is my first science fiction, and I am excited.
"In classic science fiction style, Russell presents a
devastated world reformed into a seeming paleolithic paradise… [a] suspenseful
and gripping tale” —William Seager, author of Natural Fabrications: Science,
Emergence and Consciousness
“Like Ursula K. Le Guin and Kim Stanley Robinson, Sharman Apt Russell tells
stories of human reorientation within a radically reanimated world… an urgent
story that immerses the reader in the agonizing entanglements and wonders of
being.” —Gib Prettyman, Pennsylvania State University, Associate Editor, Resources
for American Literary Study
“Sharman Apt Russell’s vibrant new novel will enthrall readers with its vision
of a future in which animism, panpsychism and hard science come together to
show us how the forces shaping consciousness and the universe are one and the
same.” —Imre Szeman, co-author of After Globalization
“Russell’s intelligence and imagination shine.” —Eric C. Otto, author of Green
Speculations: Science Fiction and Transformative Environmentalism
“A
syncretic approach where hard science and the hard problem of consciousness
merge into a welcome addition to the science fiction canon. What’s more, this
is a piece of storytelling at its best!” John M. Gist, co-author of Angst and Evolution: The Struggle for Human
Potential, author of Lizard Dreaming
of Birds.
“A gripping read—I couldn’t put it down, but I
didn’t want it to end! Sharman Russell knows how to pay tribute to the great
traditions of science fiction storytelling—and how to make them new for the
twenty-first century.” Lisa Yaszek, author of Galactic Suburbia and past president of the
Science Fiction Research Association
“Russell’s novel remains steadfastly
optimistic. A refreshing alternative to near-future dystopias, she offers a
glimpse of a ‘future primitive’ in which people live more sustainably and
equitably, sustained by a sense of wonder when nature turns out to have been
panpsychic all along.” —Melody Jue, author of “Vampire Squid
Media”
"An intriguing and compelling tale of humanity struggling to recover its
indigenous allegiance to Earth and Earth Law despite the genie of physical
science having well and truly escaped from the bottle." —Freya Matthews,
author of For Love of Matter: a Contemporary Panpsychism
“A voice keenly in tune with the
discourses of science, ecology, rhetoric, and spirituality… Russell’s vision of
tomorrow imagines sobering consequences - and pathways to possible
solutions - to the crises we face today. --Michael R. Page, author of Frederik
Pohl and The Literary Imagination from Erasmus Darwin to H.G. Wells:
Science, Evolution, and Ecology
“Russell has a knack for fast-paced action and
poetic turns of phrase, and readers will turn the pages quickly so they can
follow along with the adventures of Brad, Clare, Dog, and Luke as they journey
through this new world. Fans of post-apocalyptic science fiction will find this
a wild and enjoyable ride.”--Stephanie Vie, author of (E)-Dentity
“Is there anything Sharman Apt Russell cannot
do on the printed page? A triumph of the imagination; a brilliant and
mesmerizing addition to the sci-fi canon." —JJ Amaworo Wilson, author of Damnificados
“Like Ursula K. Le Guin and Kim Stanley Robinson, Sharman Apt Russell tells stories of human reorientation within a radically reanimated world… an urgent story that immerses the reader in the agonizing entanglements and wonders of being.” —Gib Prettyman, Pennsylvania State University, Associate Editor, Resources for American Literary Study
