My first, and last, novel of the 21st century. J. was originally published by iPublish, a disastrously ill-conceived and short-lived venture by the unspeakable AOL Time Warner monster, and has been out of print for years.

Now it is once again available, in a new and better edition, with a much better-looking cover, and with various minor corrections and updates to the text; this time, too, in both trade paperback and a really handsome hardback as well.

Here's what noted SF writer Susan Matthews, author of Colony Fleet and the widely-acclaimed An Exchange of Hostages, had to say when J. first came out:

"This is a seemingly simple story: girl meets girl meets girl, and she is them. There's action and adventure, violence, nudity, sexual experimentation, chase scenes, post-nuclear dystopia, and quantum mechanics, not to mention a woman so butch that she defines her type - the boots, the eyepatch, the heavy artillery...is it just me, or is it getting warm in here? But nothing is as simple as it looks, and the structural and psychological resonances of this book only start with Sanders' provocative choice of a title that invokes some of the most famous linear narrative issues of our time.

"Will Sanders' ferocious technical discipline is all but invisible beneath the ease and mastery of his story-telling. This novel moves like a late model German import luxury car on a freeway in Montana - smooth, persuasive, and when it pulls up in front of your doorstep to let you back out into your life again you'll be surprised that you're there already...sorry that the ride's over...and ready to do it all again."

And SF reviewer Tom Easton, in Analog:

"Buy this one, folks. Sanders knows how to plot, how to put believable, sympathetic characters on the page, and how to laugh. You’ll have fun."
