"Not my favorite Pohl--maybe a 3 1/2. It's an interesting premise, but the story is too disjointed to have the desired impact. Pohl and Kornbluth's natural writing talent salvages the whole thing. If you're looking for a 'We' or '1984' read alike, this'll do." — Jared (4 out of 5 stars)

" This is a thrilling book crammed with incident, revelation and adventure, clearly the work of writers who felt no need to hoard their ideas. "
" 45 years before the movie "The Matrix" was produced, Pohl & Kornbluth basically wrote the same story in "Wolfbane." "
