“"Probability Space" offers the pleasures, delivered, with all
Kress’s unfailing intelligence and skill, of lovers united (though
not without the possibility of future heartbreak), villains
defeated (though other villains remain available and willing),
actions completed (as much as they can be in a world of flux), and
puzzles solved (except for the stubborn ones buried in the human,
or alien, heart).” --Locus “She is so deft in supplying
background information that I had no trouble understanding the
characters and the desperate situation they find themselves in....I
look forward to reading more about this metaphorically rich variant
in the social contract.” --"New York Times" on "Probability
Space" “Kress’s always excellent characters wrestle with a
splendid array of puzzles and problems, human, alien, and
scientific; another resounding success for this talented,
sure-footed writer.” –Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
