“Baxter produces something new and subtly different in the time travel genre. A multi-generational story of how an idea can permeate time and change the parameters of human existence…with a large cast of Romans, ancient Britons, and colorful settings.”—S. M. Stirling
“Epic historical fiction laced with a science fiction premise…a vividly convincing picture of a past world.”—SFX
“Strong imagination and a capacity for awe abound in the work of Stephen Baxter.”—The London Times Literary Supplement
“Formally audacious, constantly surprising, clinically subversive of the genre norms, cosmic irony always at hand to awe and undercut the reader.”—Locus
“Baxter at his best.”—The Guardian (London)
