adelaideseanThank you, Simon A of Bookgeek, for this awesome line:
"breathless space combat and desperate gambits...a truly jaw-dropping piece of SF extrapolation and large-scale thinking"
But the review is a masterpiece in and of itself, and a touching lament to Imre Bergamasc. Farewell indeed. I'm going to miss the old gal.
(That isn't a spoiler, btw, except on the issue of gender. There'll be no more in the series, so what happens next is entirely up to your imagination.)
Also, from The Age: "Williams' world-building skills--and the ambition and intricacy of his ideas--make this top-flight SF fiction" (with a superfluous "fiction" there, thrown in as a bonus).
And Stuart Mayne in aurealisXpress: "rip roaring science fiction adventure... [Sean Williams] he has the ability to invent horizons that defy belief. That is a grand gift."
I'm very excited by how well this book has been received. Long may it continue!
