"Weapons of the Mind is an awesome work of world-building, conjuring original territories, traditions, technologies, politics, and follies. But as the title promises, it's also a powerful work of mind-building. The narrative viewpoint threads from consciousness to consciousness, among human and alien ""sapients,"" each with a unique grasp of a reality that's never exactly what it seems. The action alone would have kept me turning the pages, and I'm hotly anticipating the further adventures of Tala and her crew (and their minds) in next installment of the Renegades Trilogy. But Greenwald and Kivelson, in their seamlessly blended and masterful prose, add real moral and emotional depth to the action. Their obvious care for this fully realized world becomes the reader's. - Michael Macrone Michael Macrone is the author of nine books on language, culture, and ideas, beginning with Brush Up Your Shakespeare! (Harper & Row, 1990) and also including By Jove! Brush Up Your Mythology (HarperCollins, 1992), Eureka! What Archimedes Really Meant and 80 Other Key Ideas Explained (HarperCollins, 1994), and Naughty Shakespeare (Andrews & McMeel, 1997). --Michael Macrone"

Author Information

Paul Kivelson studied creative writing at Stanford with his undergraduate advisor Adam Johnson. His fiction has been published in the Adelaide Literary Magazine and the Schuylkill Valley Journal. Currently, he is pursuing a masters degree in family therapy. But he is best known for his love of board games and his tendency to world-build more ideas than he'd ever possibly have time to write.Owen B. Greenwald is the author of the six-book series The Big Bet. A Brown University graduate, Owen now resides in the California Bay Area with his wife and a very spoiled dog. Aside from writing, Owen enjoys ballroom dance, historical reenactment, experimenting with new recipes, parodying songs, and amateur theatre (watching, scripting, performing in.), and is constantly discovering new side projects to be distracted by. His Shakespeare-inspired play Midsummer Night received the 2015 Weston Fine Arts award for excellence in playwriting. He did his best to choose a vocation that wouldn't be rendered obsolete by AI and every day gets more worried that he chose poorly.
