Praise for Michael Flynn: "With well-drawn characters and a colorful universe, this narrative tour de force brings space opera to the next level." --Library Journal on Up Jim River "The return to the far future Flynn universe is an engaging science fiction thriller that focuses on a search and rescue mission in an isolated lethal area of the human dominated galaxy.  Up Jim River is an enjoyable mostly planet side adventure thriller on an orb on the edge of the Wilds of deep space." --SFRevu "Flynn implants the style of medieval storytelling into an old-fashioned space opera." --The Washington Post Book World "Composed with structural brilliance, invested with authentic human feeling, and redolent not only of its SF precursors but of archetypal myths that echo timelessly through life and art, The January Dancer is a masterpiece." --Locus "Weaves love, mystery, music, action .  to create a mammoth of a read that will leave readers enraptured in its pages for generations to come." --Sacramento Book Review on The January Dancer.
