What People are Saying About This

Jack McDevitt

A mystery with an otherworldly difference. Modesitt deftly works out what the political and social consequences might have been had ghosts actually existed.

Alfred Coppel

The alternate universe novel is, to my mind, one of the most engaging forms science fiction can take, and Of Tangible Ghosts is as fine an example as one is apt to encounter anytime soon. There is excitement and tantalizing near-familiarity on every page. Of Tangible Ghosts is a delightful read.

Editorial Reviews

"The author of the "Recluce" fantasy series (The Towers of the Sunset, Tor Bks., 1992) excels in using subtle details to enhance the credibility of an imaginary parallel world. A good choice for sf collections." - Library Journal
