Critics Review
A scientific romance for a new era, and very welcome. The language and imagery are as perfectly formed as ice crystals. And Kissick had turned Pluto into a world as marvellous as Arrakis or Pandora * Stephen Baxter *
Adventurous SF that pushes the envelope and asks big questions. Lucy Kissick is the next big thing in space. * Paul Cornell *
[Lucy Kissick’s] depictions of what it could be like on Pluto are thrillingly vivid…A rousing good story. * The Guardian *
Lucy Kissick
Lucy Kissick wrote Plutoshine while completing her doctorate at the University of Oxford, where she recreated Martian lakes in the laboratory to understand the planet’s atmosphere. She now works as a scientist in the nuclear industry between the mountains and the sea of the English Lake District, and can usually be found in either.
