Shelfari, amazon.com’s “community-powered encyclopedia for book lovers”, has a neat feature; readers and authors can add quotes from books they enjoyed. We had a lot of fun selecting quotes from our novel Time’s Edge. Here are our favorites (in no particular order):

“It’s impossible to walk through solid rock… You have to walk between the molecules that make up the rock.” Nick, the Sarzonian guardian

“Seers. They make everything they say sound like a prophecy.” Jafrey Ral

“What I can do is science, not magic. Magic is just a term for an aspect of science that hasn’t been explained yet.” Michael Blayne

“Within this dimension there are doorways to every place in the galaxy… A misstep in this hall can have serious consequences.” Alrick Zartollis

“If we live through this remind me to buy you a Ratherian beer.” Commander Lucas Joyston

“This place is a cross between a medieval castle and a space station.” Kate Weston

“The robot was my ancestor…just as the amoeba was yours.” Edgar, Michael’s robotic servant

“I’m ready to believe anything from a man who spends three months on a simple probe retrieval and then returns wearing a cat.” Zilla, the commander of Division 9

“You are not the portent. You are the great event.” Rista Jahlan

“Alrick will kill you if you talk, and Michael will kill you if you don’t. Glad I’m not you.” Jafrey
