"Jablokov has a talent for creating truly strange aliensa sound example of latter-day space opera with some nicely developed characters and just a touch of noir atmospherics."

-Publishers Weekly

"Astonishing...a hateful of ingeniously realized aliens shimmering beneath a delightfully sustained aura of black-comic paranoia."

-Kirkus Reviews

"Jablokov's aliens are definitely not from central casting."

-The New York Times Book Review

"Vivid, exciting, and thought-provokinga paragon of how to write truly state-of-the-art SF that is both respectful of past traditions and boldly revolutionary."
