THE LIFEHOUSE TRILOGY is comprised of three books by Hugo Award-winning author Spider Robinson: MINDKILLER, TIME PRESSURE, and LIFEHOUSE.
MINDKILLER: In this future-present tale, Wireheads are a new form of junkie who feed electric currents into the pleasure centers of their brains. Karen, an ex-wireheader, and Joe, a professional thief, work to bring down the powers that be behind Wireheading, only to discover a much larger conspiracy
TIME PRESSURE: A beautiful time-traveller from the far future appears near a hippie commune in the wintery mountains of Nova Scotia, prompting revelations and terror about the future of humanity.
LIFEHOUSE: Con artists Jack and June dupe science fiction fans Wally and Moira in a time traveller scheme. But when actual time travelers pursue Jack and June, they must work with their marks to find the travelers first, and restore a wiped memory.
"A Master!"
- Locus
"Like Heinlein in his prime, Mr. Robinson writes a crisp, tightly controlled prose about a future that is recognizably descended from today's world, yet provocatively altered."
- The New York Times
"If one were given the task of creating Spider Robinson from scratch, the best way to do it would be to snatch James Joyce from history, force-feed him Marx Brothers films and good jazz for the better part of a decade, then turn him loose on a world badly in need of a look at itself."
- Vancouver Sun
"Nobody's perfect. But Spider comes pretty damned close."
- Ben Bova
"Spider Robinson is the hottest writer to hit science fiction since Harlan Ellison, and he can match the master's frenetic energy and emotional intensity, arm-break for gut-wrench."
- The Los Angeles Times
"Spider Robinson is the Tom Robbins of the 21st century."
- John Varley
"Spider Robinson is a master storyteller..."
- Allen Steele
[Spider Robinson] "embodies the best of Sturgeon, Heinlein, and Asimov."
- David Gerrold
"Robinson's creative imagination is admirable."
