Barry Malzberg calls SEEKLIGHT one of the three or four best science fiction novels he has ever read by an author new to the field. The world SEEKLIGHT creates is extraordinary- The english critic, Philip Pollock, says SEEKLIGHT is a "straightforward, highly imaginative, very well told story. It falls into the class that I rate as 'a jolly good read'. As the crime novel critics say 'I couldn't put it down'." He concludes his review by saying, "For a first novel it has remarkable selfpossession and professionalism and I enjoyed it very much indeed." There is no doubt that you will too.
[Don't let that blurb dissuade you from reading this one: it REALLY is pretty good.. - ed.]
"I was originally told by both Elwood and Malzberg that they were shooting for young adults and that they wanted something like the Heinlein juvenile. Well, I can't stand Heinlein juveniles, so I asked if something like an Andre Norton juvenile would be okay. They said that was alright."
- K. W. Jeter
"...a wholly successful and gripping novel which should provide its readers with hours of entertainment and, after the fact and by implication, a rather deeper level of inference which emerges from the book only as the consequence of its full statement."
- Barry Malzberg
"A nicely downbeat (if minor) book with anti-religious undercurrents."
- Forced Exposure
