Praise for EMISSARIES FROM THE DEAD
"With its creepy background and complex plot, [this] offers an intriguing combination of SF and detective story."
-- Locus
"A brilliantly executed novel, fully successful as both science fiction and murder mystery. Indeed, it evidences a writer at the peak of his career, and it shows none of the flaws one expects from first novels... Emissaries From the Dead is one of the best science fiction novels of the year so far, and it can be recommended especially to fans of science fiction mysteries."
-- SciFi Weekly
"A uniquely absorbing read. It envelops you in a truly exotic and alien environment, and gives you a heroine to root for... It offers mystery, action, a few good jolts, and a bit of the old redemption sans mawkishness. All of the ingredients for a story sure to knock 'em dead."
-- SF Reviews
"As great as I'd hoped...Cort and her universe have terrific scope for future development."
-- IO9
"This is the one we've been waiting for: the first non-tie-in novel by one of the best short-story writers in the business. Adam-Troy Castro's Emissaries from the Dead is SF at its best: Silence of the Lambs as Larry Niven might have written it. A clever, thought-provoking page-turner. Bravo!"
-- Robert J. Sawyer
Hugo Award-winning author of Rollback
"Adam-Troy Castro has given us the ultimate high-wire thriller."
-- Jack McDevitt
"The second novel in Castro's Andrea Cort series confirms this series really is something special... These books are compulsively readable space mysteries, but they're also hiding little packets of cleverness and substance under the surface. Highly recommended."

"I'm particularly fond of blends of SF and the detective story, particularly when they're as well done as this one. Castro is finally showing the promise at novel length that his short fiction has been suggesting for years."
