Summer of
Love
by Lisa Mason
is in The Philip
K Dick Award Storybundle!
A Philip
K. Dick Award Finalist. A San Francisco Chronicle Recommended Book of the Year.
The year is 1967 and something new is sweeping across America:
good vibes, bad vibes, psychedelic music, psychedelic drugs, anti-war protests,
racial tension, free love, bikers, dropouts, flower children. An age of
innocence, a time of danger. The Summer of Love.
San Francisco is the Summer of Love, where runaway flower
children flock to join the hip elite and squares cruise the streets to view the
human zoo.
Lost in these strange and wondrous days, teenager Susan Bell,
alias Starbright, has run away to San Francisco to find her troubled best
friend. Her path will cross with Chiron Cat’s Eye in Draco, a strange and
beautiful young man who has journeyed farther than she could ever imagine.
With the help of Ruby A. Maverick, a feisty half-black, half-white
hip merchant, Susan and Chi discover a love that spans five centuries. But can
they save the world from demons threatening to destroy all space and time?
A harrowing coming of age. A friendship ending in tragedy. A
terrifying far future. A love spanning five centuries. And a gritty portrait of
a unique time in American history--the Summer of Love.
From the author of The
Gilded Age (A New York Times Notable Book and New York Public Library
Recommended Book), The Garden of
Abracadabra, Volume 1 of the Abracadabra Series, Celestial Girl (A Lily Modjeska Mystery), and Strange Ladies: 7 Stories.

“Remarkable.
. . .a whole array of beautifully portrayed characters along the spectrum from
outright heroism to villainy. . . .not what you expected of a book with flowers
in its hair. . . the intellect on display within these psychedelically packaged
pages is clear-sighted, witty, and wise.”
--Locus
“A
fine novel packed with vivid detail, colorful characters, and genuine insight.”
--The Washington Post
Book World
“Captures
the moment perfectly and offers a tantalizing glimpse of its wonderful and
terrible consequences.”
--San Francisco
Chronicle
“Brilliantly
crafted. . . .An engrossing tale spun round a very clever concept.”
--Katharine
Kerr, author of Days of Air and Darkness
“Just
imagine The Terminator in love beads,
set in the Haight-Ashbury ‘hood of 1967.”
--Entertainment
Weekly
“Mason
has an astonishing gift. Her characters almost walk off the page. And the story
is as significant as anyone could wish. This book will surely be on the prize
ballots.”

priority purchase.”
