Here’s what others say:

Underneath the sci-fi and the technology, this is a story about love and loss and

second chances, about people trying to reconnect, no matter how fantastic it may seem across, time and space. -- Academy Award-winner Brandan Fraser

At every opportunity, Sawyer forces his readers to think while holding their

attention with ingenious premises and superlative craftsmanship. -- Booklist
