A smart and ingenius writer * Christopher Priest *Clever, inventive and above all a fantastic read * SF Book *Perfectly plotted, winningly worded, and as rewarding, despite everything, as anything you’re apt to read this year, this trifecta of golden age goodness is yet another example of Adam Roberts’ tremendous talents * Tor.com *
