CROSSING THE LINE

"Stellar."

Jack McDevitt, author of Deepsix

"Satisfyingly complex… [Traviss] at times, evokes the earlier moral fables of Le Guin… at other times the revisionist critique of expanding human empires… and at times the union of romance with SF that we see in the work of Catherine Asaro or Lois McMaster Bujold… Traviss manages to keep these sometimes conflicting modes in balance, mostly through her strong sense of character."

Locus

"A fascinating cast of characters involved in a richly complex situation… Her people are convincingly real… Traviss has created a vivid assortment of alien races, each with distinctive characteristics and agendas."

James Alan Gardner, author of Expendable

"Science fiction with teeth… In Shan Frankland, Karen Traviss has created a tough, interesting, believable character."

Gregory Frost, author of Fitcher's Brides

"A writer to watch… Traviss takes what could have been a rote collection of characters (marines, cops, religious extremists) and slowly adds depth, complexity, and color."
