"In Life During Wartime , Lucius Shepard manages to neatly weave the science fiction movement known as cyberpunk and Latin American magic realism into a magnificently realized drama of love and moral ambiguity... extraordinarily powerful.... Shepard is that rarest of writers, a true artist, whose concern is to render truth, not trifle with realism. The language throughout is accurate and compelling, each fantastic scene as powerfully seductive as a dream". --(in The Washington Post ).

"Rich and evocative prose, saturated with imagery. This is an excellent book". --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1995).

Hardcore cyberpunk.
Highly recommended.
