wfzimmerman's review: "I'm a few chapters into this and it is terrific so far. Big Smart Objects, astroarchaeology, credible science -- this is what SF is all about. I immediately rushed off to order his other book, [[Star Dragon]]]."

wfzimmerman's review: "State of the art stuff. A convincing meditation on what "matters" when all your material needs are met."
wfzimmerman's review: "An impressive debut novel. The multiplexing clones who are the protagonists are creepy at first, but at the end of the book there is a convincing explanation for their existence. One minor nit is that practically every character has a self-descriptive name (is there a word for that? autonym?) Ultimately, a tough-minded meditation on what might lead us to a Singularity and what might happen after it."

wfzimmerman's review: "I'm proud of this book, and it's a strong seller -- in the top few results when you search in Amazon Books for "battleship.""
