Some 10 million years in the future, in a galaxy heavily populated by humans and other advanced species, a thousand trustworthy humans and their cloned offspring have been granted an incredible power that they may preserve a peace that has endured for eons. They can build worlds wherever they wish and can terraform any wasteland. But the arrival of a woman as old as the great peace itself brings uncertainty and fear. For she brings with her a warning: the tale of an ancient crime that threatens to destroy the peace that has been so carefully crafted. A far-future epic of god-like humans and their colossal blunders, SISTER ALICE is a novel of incredible imagination from the author of the acclaimed MARROW.

"Big-ass SF with bite." -- Joe Gordon, The Alien Online

"The story is readable but I couldn’t help wishing he could have been a bit more precise with the more SF aspect of their abilities." -- GF Willmetts, SF Crowsnest

"I enjoyed Sister Alice a lot, but felt that the techno-babble almost demanded more attention; I wanted more of the Talents explained, and in particular certain plot holes beg for this." -- Dave Kennedy, DKennedy.org

"Ideas don't get much bigger." -- Jon Courtenay Grimwood, The Guardian

"Sister Alice is one of the most imaginative and compelling SF novels of the year." -- D. Douglas Fratz, Scifi.com

"Reed displays a great, sweeping and certainly visionary imagination here, but ultimately the sheer strangeness of the concepts at work, seemed too far removed for me to comfortably grasp." -- John Berlyne, SFRevu
