It shows up as the fourth-bestselling mass-market paperback at McNally Robinson, which then translates into number nine on the overall bestseller list published by the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, which includes hardcovers.

Thanks to Robert J. Sawyer (whose new novel Wake is number two on the list) for pointing this out!

Lois H. Gresh reviews Marseguro for Sci-Fi Weekly (the very high-profile news service of the Sci-Fi Channel in the U.S.) and gives it an A!

Some excerpts:

The settings are well drawn and creative…

The characters possess substance, emotions and realistic motivations…

Most important, the action and surprises keep coming…

She concludes:

Overall…the flaws are minor, and this book is almost impossible to put down.

Even people who are afraid of the water will love this book. Highly recommended.

Read the whole thing.
