5.0�toiles sur 5 Laughing all the way, Sep 8 2007

Par	Carolyn Kierstead "Dragon Lady" (Newmarket, ON Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

I found this book in my hubby's collection when we moved into an apartment together in May of 1990, and spent the rest of the afternoon sitting on the floor reading it, leaving the remainder of our collection scattered around the room while I laughed and giggled my way through the book.

Palmer's writing style is definitely unique, and the phrasing is absolutely hilarious at times, and the story is completely engaging. Candy, although a self-admitted "super-kid", is not annoying or too precocious, merely incredibly smart and very resourceful.

I have read this book at least once a year every year since I found it, and even had a friend who went to work at a secondhand book store look for another copy for me, as I was afraid I was going to wear out the copy I had. He did find me one, I bought it, and I still have yet to wear out the first one, though I am trying.

If you find it, buy it. If you somehow don't like it, pass it along - I'm sure somewhere you will find someone who will love it.

Par Un client

I have never read a Sci-Fi book before. A friend gave me a copy of Emergence and I absolutely love it. I have read it several times and wish wholeheartedly that Palmer would write a follow up to Emergence continuing Candy's story.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Nice post-holocaust novel, Nov. 20 2002

Par	Dr. van der Linden (Williamstown, NJ) - Voir tous mes commentaires

---
First published in *Analog*, EMERGENCE is one of the overlooked gems of science fiction. Palmer even had the patience to respond to my letter of comment (LoC) in the magazine, and when it went to paperback publication he modified an element in the plot involving the surgical repair of a femoral arterial laceration.

The story is told from the perpective of a brilliant and resourceful young girl in a ghodawful situation, and I intend to get my mitts on a copy to gift my 11-year-old granddaughter. There aren't too many decent stories SF stories with respectable female central characters in 'em, and EMERGENCE is one of the few.
