About this product
Product Information
From acclaimed, award-winning author Jo Walton: Philosopher Kings, a tale of gods and humans, and the surprising things they have to learn from one another. Twenty years have elapsed since the events of The Just City. The City, founded by the time-traveling goddess Pallas Athene, organized on the principles espoused in Plato's Republic and populated by people from all eras of human history, has now split into five cities, and low-level armed conflict between them is not unheard-of. The god Apollo, living (by his own choice) a human life as "Pythias" in the City, his true identity known only to a few, is now married and the father of several children. But a tragic loss causes him to become consumed with the desire for revenge. Being Apollo, he goes handling it in a seemingly rational and systematic way, but it's evident, particularly to his precocious daughter Arete, that he is unhinged with grief. Along with Arete and several of his sons, plus a boatload of other volunteers--including the now fantastically aged Marsilio Ficino, the great humanist of Renaissance Florence--Pythias/Apollo goes sailing into the mysterious Eastern Mediterranean of pre-antiquity to see what they can find--possibly the man who may have caused his great grief, possibly communities of the earliest people to call themselves "Greek." What Apollo, his daughter, and the rest of the expedition will discover...will change everything.

Reviews
"Rendered with Walton's usual power and beauty... It's this haunting character complexity that ultimately holds the reader captive to the tale."-N. K. Jemisin, The New York Times , on My Real Children "Has as much in common with an Alice Munro story as it does with, say, Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle. "-Lev Grossman, Publishers Weekly, on My Real Children "Funny, acute, and impassioned."-Ursula K. Le Guin on Among Others "There are the books you want to give all your friends, and there are the books you wish you could go back and give your younger self... Among Others [is] both."-Charlie Jane Anders, io9, "This continues Walton's fascinating exploration of what it might be like if people lived according to Platonic ideals but with messy human emotions and urges complicating matters at every turn."-- Library Journal " If there's one thing Walton is brilliant at -- and there are roughly 1 million of those -- it's not letting you know quite what kind of story you're in, and leading you to relish the discovery."-- NPR
