An unforgettable vision of America transfigured by a new and utterly apocalyptic technology. Greg Bear's Blood Music is perhaps the only other novel to have dealt so unflinchingly with the paradigm-shattering possibilities of a functioning nanotech. If a science fiction writer's job is to conceive the inconceivable, Goonan has arrived with an immaculate version of the traditional tool-kit--and the nerve to use it hard.--William Gibson Goonan is one of the most imaginative authors in the literature of the imagination.--David Brin In the hands of Kathleen Ann Goonan, the science of science fiction becomes something lyrical and vividly human, and the intricately imagined future she presents is thus rendered completely plausible and poignant in the extreme. Queen City Jazz is hands down the best first novel I've read in the genre in the past ten years.--Lucius Shepard "Unforgettable." --William Gibson"A dizzying novel that takes full advantage of the creative potential of nanotech." --The New York Times"An unforgettable vision of America transfigured by a new and utterly apocalyptic technology.

Goonan has written one of the most original, thought provoking novels to emerge from American writing in some time." --Des Moines Register"Richly imagined...Goonan displays a rare gift for grounding far-reaching ideas in beautifully crafted, almost magical prose." --Booklist."In the hands of Kathleen Ann Goonan, the science of science fiction becomes something lyrical and vividly human, and the intricately imagined future she presents is thus rendered completely plausible and poignant in the extreme.
