"If you haven't read any Egan, you so should. He takes the wildest
frontiers of today's science and turns them into brainbending
speculative fiction that continually challenges the reader's ideas
of both reality and humanity."
--Jon Evans, author of Dark Places and The Executor "Greg Egan is a
master of 'what-if' science fiction. Other physics? Different
biology? Egan's characters work out the implications and outcomes
as they struggle to survive and prevail. The most original alien
race since Vernor Vinge's Tines."
--David Brin, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Earth and
Existence "Greg Egan achieves something very few SF novels manage:
he creates some real, old-fashioned sensawunda."
--Stefan Raets, Tor.com on The Clockwork Rocket "The perfect SF
novel. A pitch-perfect example of how to imagine aliens.
Captivating from the first page to the superb last paragraph."
--Liviu Suciu, Fantasy Book Critic on The Clockwork Rocket "More
than any Egan story to date, the books of the Orthogonal trilogy
place science in a broader social context."
--Karen Burnham, Strange Horizons on The Eternal Flame "Egan's fans
as well as lovers of SF that emphasizes hard science should welcome
this tale of courage and self-sacrifice."
--Library Journal on The Eternal Flame "When most people switch a
minus sign for a plus, they re-do the math. Egan re-does the entire
universe."
--Jerry Oltion, Nebula Award-winning author of Abandon in Place
