5.0 out of 5 stars Both exciting and deeply moving., 29 Jun 2000

By A Customer

Occasionally one is privileged to stumble across a new writer who has it all: plot, style, wit and emotion. Nalo Hopkinson's Brown Girl in the Ring was a startling debut. Midnight Robber is even better. Midnight Robber is a fast paced sf novel which moves between two different worlds; between reality and myth making; and between human and alien. The language is a delight, intrinsic to a plot in which each character appropriates metaphor and sound for their individual purpose. One of the best sf books of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Midnight Robber, 28 Aug 2002

By	Neil Gordon-Walker (London, Charlton United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

One of the most original SF novels Ive read. Combines African and West Indian folklore with science fiction . Strong characters,unpredictable plot, and excellent dialogue.
