On a world called Heaven, the ten major religions of mankind each have their own land governed by a capital city and ruled by a Hegemon. That Hegemon may be a god, or a prophet of a god. Smaller religions have their own towns or villages of belief.Corvyn, known as the Shadow of the Raven, contains the collective memory of humanity's Falls from Grace. With this knowledge comes enormous power.When unknown power burns a mysterious black image into the holy place of each House of the Decalivre, Corvyn must discover what entity could possibly have that much power. The stakes are nothing less than another Fall, and if he doesn't stop it, mankind will not rise from the ashes.

Praise for Quantum Shadows:

"Modesitt displays his formidable talent for worldbuilding . . . fans of thought-provoking speculative fiction will be hooked."--Publishers Weekly

"Quantum Shadows carries the overtones of our genre's finest writers--Zelazny and Wolfe--which is enough to commend it. . . . Modesitt has given us a vision all his own--a vision with the power to transport and challenge us in equal measures."--Peter O'Rullian, author of The Unremembered

Praise for Solar Express:

"[H]is science fiction ranks up there with Ben Bova, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Larry Niven, and Jerry Pournelle."--SF Revu

"Modesitt Jr.'s boundless imagination flings readers headfirst into a richly imagined deep-space world."--RT Book Reviews, starred review (4 stars)

Praise for The One-Eyed Man:

"The book hums along with understated power and intellectual attractiveness, delivering thoughtful entertainment in the best classical SF manner."--Asimov's Science Fiction

"Modesitt intricately builds a setting that is concrete and believable."--Angela Carter

"The One-Eyed Man is actually one of the more powerful and elegant expressions of Modesitt's themes. I'm always excited when the author takes a break from his fantasy series to write a new science fiction novel."--Tor.com
