“I love the way FAIR COIN takes a fairy tale motif and first, makes it its own, then transforms it into a solid SF outing fabulous from start to finish.” “ complex, complicated, intelligent, thought-provoking story that challenges expectations and plays around with science in all sorts of weird ways.” “Fair Coin starts with an intriguing idea that becomes more interesting as the story develops This is a great book that fans of fantasy or science fiction will enjoy.” “An entertaining, exciting science-fiction adventure wil identify with the protagonist’s desires and angst.” “Magic and science collide in this retelling of the classic fable about misguided wishes never having exactly the outcome you intend A complex plotline explores experimental theories in this fast-paced and fun story.” But don’t take my word for it read for yourself!” “This one reminded me of Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies: realistic and compelling characters, a world whose creepiness only gradually reveals itself, awesome adventure. “With clear, engaging prose this is a good young-adult novel that also has lots to offer not-so-young adults.” It’s a fast-moving book full of twists and cool character moments, and definitely ideal for adults who miss the days of engaging, idea-driven science fiction don’t plan on doing anything else until you finish reading it.”

Myers’ astounding FAIR COIN - a book which, among other things, achieves the feat of seeming like a dark fairy tale and a clever science fiction epic, rolled into one. “Tired of cookie-cutter young-adult novels? The cure awaits, in the shape of E.C. “ dizzying debut Ephraim’s ability to see past the temptations of power despite an active teen libido provides him with a sturdy moral base.”
