What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Levy connects seemingly unrelated lives while examining the concepts of good and evil, trust and betrayal, and personal loyalty in a variety of contexts, along with the ways humans connect with one another, even without knowing many details about each other. Fans of space epics will appreciate the plans within plans and individual stories that come together and fundamentally change the society in which the characters live.” -Booklist”A fascinating premise.” -Black Gate”Meaty literary SF in the David Mitchell vein.” -Joel Cunningham, B&N Reads”Breathlessly paced and thoughtful, it is possibly one of the most intriguing works of science fiction you’ll encounter this year.” -samreader, B&N Reads”Thought-provoking scifi that acknowledges human frailty while celebrating our resilience.” -The Frumious Consortium”Intense and thought-provoking speculative fiction at its utmost best and most imaginative.” -Risingshadow”Deserves the attention of multiple reads to fully understand the cleverness and events of at it all and it’s intriguing enough to make you want to go through that journey.” -Thoughts Stained with Ink
