A Jura For Julia is a thoroughly enjoyable collection enhanced by the old-fashioned inky illustrations of Fangorn. Another winner from NewCon Press.” – SFcrowsnest 

“A delight to read, showcasing MacLeod’s characteristic blend of satirical humour, scientific speculation and emotional intelligence while also providing a new spin on recurring themes in his work, such as socialist politics and artificial intelligence... an excellent collection.” – ParSec
