Editorial Reviews

Readers in search of a good story will be pleased with this oft-tender rendering of lovers pitted against the underside of the rock that is humanity. Well-realized thoroughly-adult characters populate this novel.

EROS ASCENDING is one of the best novels Resnick has done, a fine adventure story with well-conceived characters, a good deal of interpersonal politicking, and good writing throughout.
