"Gritty action and realistic science...a dark and vivid world."
--David Brin
"The dark universe of the sea bottom and the rich characterization
captivate to the last page. Watts makes a brilliant debut with a
novel that is part undersea adventure, part psychological thriller,
and wholly original." --"Booklist" (starred review)
"A very impressive book, highly original in its setting and
unusually ingenious." --Brian Stableford
"Peter Watts delivers--solid, inventive hard SF about the deep sea,
but as we've never seen before. This moves like the wind."
--Gregory Benford
"Peter Watts bathes a gonzo, hopeless pessimism reminiscent of
Philip K. Dick or Joanna Russ in the cold, edgy light of hard
science fiction a la Benford, Bear, or Tiptree. In "Starfish, "
Watts creates in his protagonist a poetry of dysfunction which is
angry and eerily redemptive, and which makes compelling, almost
compulsive reading." --Candas Jane Dorsey
"I read "Starfish" in several large gulps. The story drives like a
futuristic locomotive. It's a hypnotic read, somber and compelling.
Best thing I've read in a long time. Peter Watts is an author to
watch for." --Robert Sheckley
