Opinions:

"As though Gaudí's biomorphic constructions had been rendered in brushed aluminium and industrial diamonds, laser-scanned and blasted as a light show above the capitols of Europe."
-- Richard Kadrey, author of Metrophage and Kamikaze L'Amour

"This is confident writing which neither proclaims a 'national tradition' nor echoes that of others, but connects with a whole range of romantically imaginative storytelling."
-- Foundation, spring '96

"... very enjoyable to read these stories in English."
-- Holland SF (Dutch)

"The wealth of ideas on display in this collection is dazzling... easily stands head and shoulders above any other fiction I've read for years."
-- The BBR Directory, November '96
