Terrifying, entertaining, and thought-provoking. . . Theres a spattering of gore, a connection to a psychopathic serial killer, and a secret government agenda to introduce alien matter into human genesin other words, a little something for everyone, science fiction fans and mystery fans alike." Kirkus Reviews
Masterful . . . Combines a missing-person case, romantic reconciliation, and a riveting sci-fi what-if . . . A thoroughly satisfying near-future glimpse of both disaster and salvation. Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Dont miss. . . Percy's novel defies categorization part sci-fi, part mystery, wholly absorbing. --Star Tribune Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Mr. Percy has given us a smart twist on the War of the Worlds plot. In H.G. Wellss story, microbes are the key to defeating the Martian war machines. In The Unfamiliar Garden, a different sort of weapon will be necessary. But the seeds of disaster, you might say, are quite literally already with us, just waiting for one more evolutionary jump. Like viruses.
