Recenzje

"For early SF buffs, this will be a substantial delight. Publishers Weekly

"Even if you re just looking for old-school adventure mixed with still trenchant social allegory this is a lineup full of winners. The rest of the series promises to be a just as big a treat and, with cover designs by Guelph artist Seth, they re nice to look at too." Alex Good, The Toronto Star

"These stories fizz and pop with something much better than believable possibilities. They remind us of how joyful the future once seemed." Scott Bradfield, The LA Times
