Praise
Publishers Weekly
"...[T]his feel-good SF novel...earns its hopeful conclusion.... McDevitt is very good at imagining strange challenges--and at picturing humans coping when things don't work out as planned. His characters succeed in imposing their compassion on the void." 10/13/2003 Science Fiction Chronicle
"...McDevitt manages to evoke a sense of wonder about the universe that is rare in much contemporary SF, and his aliens are an interesting and memorable culture." - Don D'Ammassa January 2004 New York Times Book Review
"...[McDevitt] handles the back story so adroitly that readers unfamiliar with earlier volumes in this series should have no trouble following the action." - Gerald Jonas 03/07/2004
