A Liminal People novel. Taggert wants to look after his family so
when his adopted daughter disappears he only has one option: find her.
When Taggert’s adopted daughter goes missing he suspects the hand of an
old enemy. He gathers friends, family, and even those who don’t quite
trust that he has left his violent past behind. But their search leads
them to an unexpected place, the past, and the consequences of their
journey have a price that is higher than they can afford.
Reviews of The Liminal People:
“A great piece of genre fiction. But picking which genre to place it
in isn’t easy. The first in a planned series, it’s got the twists and
taut pacing of a thriller, the world-warping expansiveness of a fantasy
yarn, and even the love-as-redemption arc of a romance. Oh yeah, a lot
of the characters in it have superhuman powers, too.” — The Rumpus
“The action sequences are smartly orchestrated, but it is Taggert’s quest to retrieve his own soul that gives The Liminal People its oomph. Jama-Everett has done a stellar job of creating a setup that promises even greater rewards in future volumes.” — San Francisco Chronicle
“You’ll be sucked into a fast-paced story about superpowered people
struggling for control of the underground cultures they inhabit…. The
novel is a damn good read. It’s a smart actioner that will entertain you while also enticing you to think about matters beyond the physical
realm.” — Annalee Newitz, io9
“The story’s setup... takes next to no time to relate in
Jama-Everett’s brisk prose. With flat-voiced, sharp-edged humor
reminiscent of the razors his fellow thugs wear around their necks,
Taggert claims to read bodies ‘the way pretentious East Coast Americans
read The New Yorker... I’ve got skills,’ he adds. ‘What I don’t have is patience.’” — Nisi Shawl, The Seattle Times
“A fun and fast-paced thriller. Recommended for: Mutants, misfits,
anyone who’s ever felt partway between one thing and another.” — The Ladies of Comicazi
