But their search leads them to an unexpected place, the past, and the consequences of their journey have a price that is higher than they can afford.
Praise for The Liminal People:
“A great piece of genre fiction. But picking which genre to place it in isn't easy. The first in a planned series, it's got the twists and taut pacing of a thriller, the world-warping expansiveness of a fantasy yarn, and even the love-as-redemption arc of a romance. Oh yeah, a lot of the characters in it have superhuman powers, too.”—The Rumpus
“Ayize's imagination will mess with yours, and the world won't ever look quite the same again.”—Nalo Hopkinson
“An action-packed thriller and a careful look at the moral dilemmas of those whose powers transcend humanity.”—Publishers Weekly
The enigmatic quagmire that is Ayize Jama-Everett has been making his presence felt all across this world since 1974. In New York, California, Morocco, Ethiopia, and elsewhere, he has impressed, reviled, and astonished with his amazing feats of mental alacrity and mystical inebriation. Despite being degreed in both divinity and psychology, the forlorn artist stakes his reputation and honor on the calling of author. He is known to be cunning in the ways of the bottle, the pen, and the pistol.
