Tor Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy titles

Alternately charming, heartstopping, and astonishingly deft, this trilogy is a
work of total relevance to our modern age.
This new Tor Essentials edition of the Small Change trilogy includes a
new introduction by J. Bradford de Long, author of Slouching Toward
Utopia and one-time Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.

Claw won the World Fantasy Award. The novels of her Small Change
