Recenzje

"An excellent example of the promise of the Radium Age series, giving deserved attention to a hilarious and prescient work of science fiction that has almost been forgotten."
Shelf Awareness

Fluidity versus fixedness as markers of peace versus conflict is a strikingly resonant argument to find in a novel that s just under a century old, and it more than justifies time spent in the company of The Clockwork Man.
The Los Angeles Review of Books

About the Radium Age Series:

Joshua Glenn s admirable Radium Age series [is] devoted to early- 20th-century science fiction and fantasy.  
The Washington Post

Long live the Radium Age.
The Los Angeles Times

  It s an attractive crusade. [ ] Glenn s project is well suited to providing an organizing principle for an SF reprint line, to the point where I m a little surprised that I can t think of other similarly high-profile examples of reprint-as-critical-advocacy.
The Los Angeles Review of Books

Neglected classics of early 20th-century sci-fi in spiffily designed paperback editions.
The Financial Times

New editions of a host of under-discussed classics of the genre.
Tor.com

Shows that proto-sf was being published much more widely, alongside other kinds of fiction, in a world before it emerged as a genre and became ghettoised.
BSFA Review

A huge effort to help define a new era of science fiction.
Transfer Orbit

An excellent start at showcasing the strange wonders offered by the Radium Age.
