 Strange Horizons Reviews: Paragaea by Chris Roberson, reviewed by Mark Teppo
To his credit, though, Roberson does manage to get Leena such an immersion in a very natural manner; it's just too bad that she's already been written into a corner by that point and can't possibly notice anything beyond her myopic obsession with being accepted and loved by her motherland.
Roberson is so busy "easter egging" us with his pulp knowledge that he never really gives us enough flavor on anything for it to become his own.
And Leena's affection for Hieronymus and Roberson's use of a climactic technique similar to the one used by Burroughs to pull John Carter away from Mars on more than one occasion notwithstanding, the overall thrust of both epilogues is resolution and conclusion.

Roberson's deceptively lighthearted take on the phenomena of time travel and alternate universes features a likable heroine whose quick mind and caring heart should appeal to adult and YA fans of sf adventure with a conscience.
Chris Roberson writes an extemely wonderful tale of a person journey through life as she walks a solitary road though time.

 The Official Site of The Philadelphia Phillies: News: Philadelphia Phillies News
Roberson and Chris Coste survived and appear to be competing for what could be the 25th roster spot, barring a trade.
While Roberson's skill set might be what the team is seeking -- he can play all three outfield positions, can run, throw and catch and is a switch-hitter with some power -- indications are that he might best be served by playing every day at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Roberson can see the logic, but he would happily accept a reserve role.

 SF Signal: REVIEW: Paragaea by Chris Roberson
Chris Roberson's Paragaea: A Planetary Romance is an homage to the science fiction stories of yesteryear; specifically, as the book jacket conveniently points out, the off-planet adventure stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Leigh Brackett.
(With Leena, Roberson also does an admirable job showing how she gradually overcomes language barriers.) If I had to complain about the characters, it would be that they sometimes slipped into shoot-first-ask-questions-later mode when a simple conversation may have sufficed.
Chris Roberson has created the Paragaea website for the book where you can read the first three chapters.

Roberson never lets the grass grow under his likeable heroine, Roxanne Bonaventure, as she jumps around not only in time but across realities.

 Chris Roberson:  Here, There & Everywhere
Chris Roberson's novel Here, There and Everywhere is a time travel novel which opens with a Beatles press conference in 1995, giving a clear indication that this isn't the world we live in.

While many of the ideas Roberson plays with in the novel will be familiar to many readers of science fiction, whether through the writings of Robert A. Heinlein ("By His Bootstraps"), Isaac Asimov (The End of Eternity) or H.G. Wells (The Time Machine), Roberson combines the elements in an interesting and often unique way.
