Praise for Haze
“Haze is the first book by L. E. Modesitt, Jr., that I’ve ever read.… Exceptional.”
—SF Site
“Modesitt has proved before he can write good action adventure, and Haze will certainly satisfy his fans. It also has a bit more political science than usual, but that is seamlessly woven into the story.”
—Booklist
“This psychological SF thriller by the prolific author of the multivolume Recluce fantasy series incorporates carefully delineated characters with believable far-future scenarios. Modesitt’s fans as well as readers of hard SF should appreciate this story of imminent interstellar war.”
—Library Journal
Praise for The Hammer of Darkness
“Prolific author Modesitt has created a fully developed world with minimal words, focusing on the ‘ordinary’ man as hero.”
—Library Journal
