Advance Praise for In the Garden of Iden
"The debut of a major talent. Kage Baker is a fresh, audacious, ambitious new
voice, wry, jazzy, irreverent, sharp as a razor, full of daring, dash, and elan,
sometimes surprisingly lyrical. She is also one hell of a storyteller. If you're
reading something by Kage Baker, fasten your seat belt—you're in for a wild
ride."
—Gardner Dozois, editor of The Years's Best Science Fiction
"An ingenious gambit to encompass Bloody Mary in 350 pages, plus a great love
story and a satire on manor life, all topped off by an auto da fe. A savory if there
ever was one…The period detail is delicious. What a treat. A beautiful writer."
—Cecelia Holland, author of Jerusalem
"A narrative that sparkles with wit… A highly impressive and thoroughly
engrossing debut."
—Kirkus Revieivs
"Baker's witty debut novel is a pip."
—Library Journal
"And now the news. And it's grim, we regret to say: today England's first official
victim of the Counter-Reformation was burnt at Smithfield. John Rogers, Canon
of Saint Paul's, longtime Reformation agitator and translator of the Matthew
Bible, died in the presence of his wife and children in a ceremony lasting twenty-
five minutes. Your news team had an operative on the scene and, Diotima, can
you tell us about it?"
"Well, Reg, you know I've been in the field a long time, and I've been there for
most of the big events in the Tudor regime, but let me say right now that this hits
a new low…"
Poor Mendoza. She's not thrilled about being sent to Renaissance England. It's a
cold, backward, unsafe country. Gray curtains of rain. The food crawling with
bacteria. No flush toilets. She won't get to see Shakespeare either. He hasn't been
born yet. The English hate the Spanish like smallpox, especially now with
bulldog-faced Mary on the throne. But Mendoza is no longer a frightened little
girl in the dungeons of the Inquisition; she's a Company-trained botanist and has
an assignment—to save Ilex tormentosum, a species of holly that will go extinct
in a hundred years. She must save it for Dr. Z and the twenty-fourth century.
Kage Baker, in her first novel, tells the story of a spunky young cyborg who,
though an immortal operative, falls for Master Nicholas Harpole, a mortal with
pale blue eyes, good legs, and a smooth, rich tenor that hangs on the air like a
violin.
Born in 1952 in Hollywood, Kage Baker lives in Pismo Beach, California, the
Clam Capital of the World. She has been an artist, actor, and director at the
Living History Centre and has taught Elizabethan English as a Second Language.
