Editorial Reviews

Bob Blough
SF of the purest quality.
Colin Harvey
Jason Sanford's novella Sublimation Angels is set on a distant planet six centuries after humans have been resettled by the alien Aurals, who are determined to wean people off their dependence on AIs. One of the best novellas of the year, written by a writer whose reputation grows with each story.

Superb ... a satisfying and wonderfully rounded story.

A captivating story about freedom, rebellion, and seeking the truth. It's wonderfully told and elicits the right reactions from the reader as the narrative barrels forth to its satisfying ending. Five stars.
