But the real story here is the all-too-realistic vision of an ecosystem in the throes of collapse, portrayed in stunning, sobering detail. --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>a stunningly beautiful novel, characterized as much by lyricism as pointed critique of how humans are stewarding the planet. --<i>Chicago Review of Books</i> <p/>Novels like <i>Clade</i> provide the lens we need to see our way forward. --<i>Locus</i> <p/>"entertaining, insightful, and all around a great book" --<i>Gamers Sphere</i> <p/>"makes the devastation of global warming intensely personal" Book Riot <p/><b>Barnes & Noble SFF blog: </b> <p/>"haunting, strangely optimistic" <p/>"Bradley's ability to find poetry amid brutal circumstances, his focus on the undeniably human problems of his cast, and a hopeful message of survival make Clade a melancholic celebration of humanity, not an elegy" <p/>"Bradley's novel is absorbing and depressing, as it is thoughtful and fascinating" <p/>"Clade is possibly the most beautiful, optimistic end of the world novel ever written...equal parts beautiful, melancholy, and a little bit hopeful." <p/>"a cli-fi masterpiece" BookRiot<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>James Bradley</b> is a novelist and critic.
