A Sorcerer's Treason by Sarah Zettel
reviewed by Sherwood Smith
The time is 1899, the place the coast of Lake Superior. The heroine is Bridget Lederle, daughter of now deceased parents and mother of a baby who died, all of whom she still mourns. She is a lighthouse keeper, a job that might seem randomly selected but turns out to be important; she also has a kind of second sight, and her single living relative is a grim aunt, Grace, who earns her living as a fake medium. Or is she fake? Can Bridget believe her when she suddenly appears and warns Bridget not to have anything to do with people from "over there?"

Kingdom of Cages by Sarah Zettel
reviewed by Donna McMahon
The phrase "shit disturbing" takes on a whole new meaning when you work a backbreaking shift in the local sewage treatment plant, but Chena Trust, 13, is a born agitator and she's unhappy. Everyone tells her how lucky she is to move to the planet Pandora, but conditions there seem unbelievably primitive to a girl raised on a space station. Colonists live in tiny villages, eking out a subsistence living under harsh rules that forbid them from using machinery or modern medicine -- anything that might conceivably disturb Pandora's pristine biosphere.

reviewed by David Soyka
Now this is David's idea of what science fiction ought to be -- believable characters facing difficult and not entirely resolvable conflicts in a futuristic setting where plot and pacing take precedence over arcane technical speculation and long-winded philosophical digressions.

Fool's War by Sarah Zettel
reviewed by Steven H Silver
Steven found the story interesting, cast with characters and a Universe well worth the occasional confusing sequence. The few redundancies don't detract from the flow of the novel, and Zettel is adept at creating complex, believable worlds and likable people.
