Highly recommended.”—George Zebrowski “The Silk Code is a splendidly imaginative novel that explores worlds of ideas both scientific and philosophical, while carrying the reader effortlessly across countries, times, and cultures.”—Charles Sheffield “The Silk Code is science fiction in the classic style, with an innovative mystery that breaks new ground.
