All Those Vanished Engines
Paul Park
Paul Park returns to science fiction with an extraordinary, intense, compressed SF novel containing three parts, each set in its own alternate-history universe. The sections are all rooted in Virginia and the Battle of the Crater, and are also grounded in the real history of the Park family, from differing points of view.
Marc Notes: This is a novel of three alternate histories, from the Civil War to the future. The sections are all rooted in Virginia and the Battle of the Crater, and are also grounded in the real history of the Park family, from differing points of view. They are carefully constructed, and reverberate richly with one another. Biographical Note: PAUL PARK is the author of "A Princess of Roumania," and numerous other novels. He published his first novel in the 1980s and swiftly attracted notice as one of the finest authors on the "humanist" wing of American SF. His powerful, densely written narratives of religious and existential crisis on worlds at once exotic and familiar won him comparisons with Gene Wolfe and Brian Aldiss at their best. He lives in North Adams, Massachusetts. Review Citations:
