Praise for Walls of Wind: "Look out, C. J. Cherryh! Step aside, Hal Clement! There's a new master of truly alien SF, and her name is J. A. McLachlan. THE WALLS OF WIND is doubtless THE debut novel of the year." ~ Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning science fiction author
Tamora Pierce read Occasional Diamond Thief and The Salarian Desert Game and said: "Tense, thrilling, edge-of-the-seat reading--I tore through this! Kia and Agatha are a fascinating pair, Kia so practical, down-to-earth, and wilful; Agatha so mystical and driven. More, please!" ~ Tamora Pierce
The author has created an interesting world within which the reader must realign his or her image of communication and relationships. I hope we have not left that world forever
