Cover to Cover #113: Eric Van Lustbader / Steven Barnes

May 10, 2004 by Michael R. Mennenga

Mistress of the PearlInterview: The new book from Eric Van Lustbader is Mistress of the Pearl. It’s the third book Eric’s epic science fiction series, “The Pearl Saga”. It’s a tale of two alien species, one technologically advanced, the other a theocracy forced to modernize quickly. There are six books planned in this epic science fiction-fantasy tale.

Zulu Heart: A Novel of Slavery and Freedom in an Alternate AmericaInterview: How do you like your history? Alternate? Good. Zulu Heart by Steven Barnes is a book for you. In this book, Africa colonized the world, not the Europeans. And we all know what the Europeans did, right? Well, in Zulu Heart, it’s all reversed. Yeah, let that sink in for a minute, then go pick up the book. A whole new take on things!
