Product Description
IN THE NEAR FUTURE, humankind has mastered the arts of peace, tolerance, and acceptance. At least, that's what we claim. "You know..." she said slowly, so softly that Evvie almost didn't hear it. "You know those movies where the aliens come to Earth, and they... I dunno, they try to steal our natural resources, or create a nuclear winter so they can turn the Earth into slag, or they melt the polar ice caps and New York is under fathoms of water, or they clone us for slaves, or create terrifying bio-weapons and wipe us all out and use our cities for farmland, or... all that stuff?" Evvie's heart trembled. She could taste her pulse and her fear, thready and metallic on the back of her tongue. "Yes," she said softly. ...a "deeply satisfying debut." -Publishers Weekly Gwen looked up. "It was nothing like that."

Great read,
By
This review is from: Triptych (Paperback)
Once I started, I simply couldn't put it down. I whipped through it and then was very sorry when it was over. Here's hoping for another from J.M. Frey very soon.

...it's even got a big red button.,
By
This review is from: Triptych (Paperback)
Triptych has everything you could want from a good sci-fi story - and more. Engaging characters created with care and respect and a healthy dollop of humour; a plotline riddled with twists and turns (through the fabric of time and space, no less); and yes, strange but true in a science fiction novel, love, romance, even sex... and galactic interspecies genderflexible at that. (Did that make sense? it will). There are even chickens... but not in the sex scenes; that's kinky. And yes, there's a big red button. You'll need it. That and a good cuppa tea.Seriously... a fine read. Compelling, thought provoking, grin inducing and yet able to reduce me to sniffles too - but I'm a sucker for a good story, and Triptych provides.

Refreshing take on the alien among us,
This review is from: Triptych (Paperback)
In Triptych, J.M. Frey takes a global first-contact story intomicrocosm as compelling domestic drama. She inhabits the alien, not as invader, or ambassador, but in a refreshing take as awkward, down-on-his-luck houseguest. Her characterizations include great sensitivity, nuance and imaginative detail. On top of all this, she successfully sets up a conspiracy that jumps through time for its payoff. Frey is a talent to watch.
