Praise for Catherine Wells:

"A well-told tale...I look forward to the next title from this new name in the field." --Science Fiction Chronicle

"Mother Grimm is a thinking person's SF novel." --Starlog

"An uncomfortably believable novel that reads more like future history than science fiction. Wells is a natural storyteller who serves up a well-measured mixture of the best ingredients--conflict and greed, love and lust, hope and dreams and suspense." --Grand Forks Herald
