As one who has received review copies of AYNIK and TLOTSOT - (almost finished with Kill) I don’t really care how the book is characterized or classified - other than to say it is EXCELLENT science fiction and, is destined to become a classic and will immediately put your imprint on the map.

Thanks for this!
