Synopsis
What would you do if you were rich, bright, vigorous, virtually immortal—and nearly bored to death?You'd invent a thrill sport..."An Innovative and exciting read. A treat." – C.J. Cherryh"Buckner hits another homerun...action, character, drama, and great science - it's all here in the latest from the hottest author in this or any other star system."– Robert J. Sawyer"War Surf is a much more intelligent, much deeper book than it seems...an ambitious and heartfelt novel with a fine ending...So the next time someone tells you that American SF is dead, ask them to add M.M. Buckner to the list of people that they ought to be reading."– Cheryl Morgan, Emerald City
