"A Game of Clones by Justina Robson - A weird tale that could be best described as Iain M Banks meets Michael Moorcock... It is a ride and a fun one to boot!" - Runalong the Shelves
''I Give You the Moon describes in good hard-SF tradition technologies for trying to clean the environment - giant machines filtering the seas, mechanical crabs scouring the seabed - but it's also a moving tale of a boy in Africa who yearns to be a Viking." - Gary K. Wolfe in Locus
"Madswitch: A female ex-scientist takes steps to 'correct' her dysfunctional family. An enjoyable psychological tale of the science of horror." - Review Graveyard
"On Skybolt Mountain: The witch Lettice Beaverley has gotten herself in trouble. Here is the sort of story I'd have liked to see more of... The magic is immediately present and well-realized, its elements are credible and clearly potent, fearsomely so. And Lettice is a well-drawn character, growing slowly into her destined role. RECOMMENDED." - Lois Tilton, Locus Online
