Praise for Mayan December:

“Cooper interweaves past and present in this elegantly understated narrative of the Mayan calendar ending in 2012, a pleasant outlier in a subgenre known for apocalyptic histrionics… Cooper illuminates the colorful Mayan world with imagination-hugging historical and cultural detail.” – Publisher’s Weekly

“Wonderful read! A lively and thought-provoking story that moves between the past and present of the Mayan world, filled with engaging characters, vivid descriptions, and unexpected turns. Kept me up late into the night.”—Barb Hendee co-author of the Noble Dead Saga

“A fresh, inventive look at the 2012 end of the world. Whatever you’re expecting, this will be different, including a rich portrayal of vanished Mayan culture and wonderfully extravagant ending. Journey with Alice and Nixie and Ah Bahlam to places we would all like to go; the journey will repay you tenfold.”—Nancy Kress

“A brilliant mix of culture, history, science fiction and fantasy, Cooper has written a delight for the senses. A fun read with interesting characters, surprising twists, and interesting ideas. A departure for her, it will also carry readers away to a new place and a new time in a fun way they’re sure to enjoy.” – Bryan Thomas Schmidt, Science Fiction And Fantasy Writer’s Chat www.bryanthomasschmidt.net/sffwrtcht and author of the forthcoming novel “The Worker Prince.”

Praise for Brenda Cooper’s Silver Ship series:

“Fast-paced and full-bodied, “Silver Ship” is character-driven hard SF at its best.”

- The Seattle Times

“Cooper reveals an ambitious literary nature here, with the chops to carry it all off. Not only do we get our main thread about pioneering a planet, we also get … a tour of a cyber-savvy civilized world, a guerrilla-war interlude and the foreshadowings of an interplanetary war…. Her prose has a certain elegance and gravitas that endows the tale with deeper emotional resonance than you might at first expect.”

-       Sci Fi Review

“Brenda Cooper’s newest novel is a feast of character and concept. She depicts the devastation of war on microcosmic and macrocosmic levels, and even more so, the driving motives of young men and women caught in deadly conflict.  Don’t miss this compelling work by a major new talent.”

– Mary A. Turzillo, An Old-Fashioned Martian Girl.

“Brenda Cooper tells a tale of a powerful brother and sister in a fight for their lives, offering insights along the way into the nature of courage and the hunger for community that burns in every human being.”

–Louise Marley. Multiple award-winning author of The Glass Harmonica and Terrorists of Irustan
