Booth 1832 - Deborah Pratt and The Vision Quest


Making time to read a novel during Comic Con is a challenge, but I am VERY glad I have taken some time each evening, since first discovering Deborah Pratt's The Vision Quest to read several chapters.

I have been drawn into a future that I grow more and more curious about with each page I turn... and the author pays attention to some of the minor details of life that we take for granted, and has updated them along with civilization in this book.

When I was in college I first encountered a professor who wanted years denoted not as BC or AD but as BCE or CE, as in Before the Common Era, and the Common Era. In Deborah Pratt's The Vision Quest we are discovering a world that exists After the Quakes that reshaped the continents of Earth. Some have sunk, others have risen, and everywhere people are adapting and living in the years AQ.
