Library Journal

Publisher's Weekly
A marvellously constructed novel. If McDevitt never writes another word, his reputation is assured
Science Fiction Chronicle
A superlative novel ... bridges the gap between literary and commercial SF with rare facility and belongs in every collection
Booklist
Jack McDevitt is that splendid rarity, a writer who is a storyteller first and a science fiction writer second. In his ability to absolutely rivet the reader, it seems to me that he is the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke
Stephen King
