"No one balances the lighthearted and the unnerving more deftly than Cornell."--Daniel Abraham, co-author of The Expanse " An elegant, elegiac examination of identity, fictionality, God and humanity itself --but also a very, very funny story about a crew of dopes. I love them all, except Bob. (In actuality Bob sort of broke my heart!)"--Tamsyn Muir, author of the Locked Tomb series " A scream disguised as a giggle . Reading Rosebud is like going on an absurdist romp through a sunlit meadow with Douglas Adams, only to suddenly realize that you're deep in the forest and ol' Dougie has just slipped a knife between your ribs."--Peter Watts, author the Firefall series and the Rifters series " Cutting-edge science fiction from a writer at the very top of their game."--Gareth L. Powell, author of Embers of War "A true voyage of the imagination, simultaneously mind-wrenching and laugh-out-loud funny .

"--Adrian Tchaikovsky "Paul Cornell re-imagines the classic SF idea of first contact and turns it upside down and inside out--and then twists it into a multi-dimensional thing of wonder ."--Michael Cassutt, writer for Z-Nation and co-author of The Astronaut Maker " No word is wasted here, and [ Rosebud ] builds into a moving story about what it means to be human, even after you have been transformed into a form that decidedly isn't ."-- Locus.
