The fans will be pleased.” – Publishers Weekly “Hannu Rajaniemi is without a doubt one of the smartest and most impressive writers working in science fiction, and I can't wait to see what he does next.” – Tor.com “The author masterfully crafts a novel that rewards the thoughtful reader with its ideas, images, and the heartfelt story of one man's determination to do the right thing in order to remain true to the ideals of his past. The brevity of the prose and the captivatingly whimsical breadth of ideas remain a true delicacy.” – The Skinny “A novel of big ideas wrapped in the trappings of an old-school space opera. It gives you everything you want from it - action and adventure, memorable characters, powerful stories and global themes. This is what science fiction should strive for." – SFcrowsnest
