"A fine collection of short stories and novellas from the Canadian master. " — Michael (4 out of 5 stars)
"A fine collection of short stories and novellas from the Canadian master. "
“The best science fiction writer out there.”
“Sawyer forces his readers to think while holding their attention with ingenious premises and superlative craftsmanship.”
“Sawyer has a way of taking familiar ideas, looking at them from new angles and in greater depth than almost anybody before him, and tying them together to create extraordinarily fresh and thought-provoking stories.”
“A great story…[Heald] reads with energy and verve, great characterization and accents as needed.”
“A sense of wonder that hasn’t prevailed in American SF since the days of Heinlein.”
“Identity Theft is on the Hugo ballot, and it is easy to see why…The conclusion is non-stop action—literally slam-bang. Highly recommended.”
" I always enjoy Sawyer's work, but I think I prefer his longer efforts. (So does he, according to several of the story intros.) "
" I'd like to rate this higher but I was generally more interested in the settings than the stories. There are a couple of excellent stories in here but this is definitely a collection for fans of Sawyer and not fans of short fiction. "
