Reviews

"Hard science and human interest intersect ingeniously in the prequel to Bea's Eon and Eternity....This is a stunning SF novel that extrapolates a scientifically complex future from the basic stuff of human nature." --Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Legacy "Each new novel only serves to illustrate how masterful Bear has become." --Houston Post on Greg Bear "Whether he's tinkering with human genetic material or prying apart planets, Bear goes about the task with intelligence and a powerful imagination." --Locus on Greg Bear "A cohesive and original vision of the future. Bear has combined a lively set of characters, colorful writing and gripping psychological-technological fabrications into a very seductive read." --People Magazine on Queen of Angels "The ambitiousness of Greg Bear's Eon lies more in the mainstream of science fiction... its uniqueness arises from Bear's bold imagination. Bear is a writer of passionate vision. Eon is his grandest work yet." --Locus on Greg Bear "Bear is one of our very best." --New York Daily News on Greg Bear "If anyone is the complete master of the grand scale SF novel, it's Bear." --Booklist on Greg Bear
