Media Reviews
Praise for the multiple-award-winning Saga of the Skolian Empire:
Asaro's Saga of the Skolian Empire has quietly become one of the most interesting, ambitious, and popular science-fiction series since Dune . -- Romantic Times

Asaro has quickly gained a reputation as a writer of first-rate rip-roaring adventures. -- SF Site

Intrigue, drama and romance converge in nebula winner Asaro's latest Skolian Empire adventure, an enthralling stand-alone that fills in the early history of the empire. -- Publishers Weekly on Skyfall

The Moon's Shadow is superior space opera, with a level of realism and psychological depth that amply rewards readers who prefer their entertainment well seasoned with sharp intelligence. Asaro succeeds in giving readers a rewarding look into her elaborate and colorful fictional universe, and in leaving them with the desire to soon visit it again. -Pamela Sargent, SciFi.com

This latest installment blends dynastic intrigue with theoretical physics to create a story that will appeal to fans of hard sf as well as grand-scale storytelling. -- Library Journal on Spherical Harmonic
