       Praise

      David Zindell’s short story ‘Shanidar’ was a prizewinning entry in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest. He was nominated for the ‘best new writer’ Hugo Award in 1986. Gene Wolfe declared Zindell was ‘one of the finest talents to appear since Kim Stanley Robinson and William Gibson – perhaps the finest’. His first novel, Neverness, was widely praised:

      ‘A thick, lush, vivid, panoramic view of evolved humans in an evolving universe far in the future’

       Twilight Zone

      ‘Excellent hard science fiction … a brilliant novel’ Orson Scott Card

       The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction

      ‘A victorious book, lingering and lithe and rich’

      John Clute Interzone

      In October 1992, a reviewer in the New Scientist referred to ‘the brilliant Neverness, in which David Zindell writes of interstellar mathematics in poetic prose that is a joy to read’

      The Broken God is Zindell’s second novel and a sequel to Neverness. He lives in Boulder, Colorado.
