ReviewsPraise for Beyond the Blue Event Horizon : "Certainly very few books have ever held my attention in such an iron grip right up until the last paragraph, built so irresistibly to such a satisfying series of blockbuster punch lines, left me so breathless with admiration, achieved such truly cosmic scope." -Analog "The kind of mind-opening conceptualization that makes the universe seem very vast and beautiful indeed. In short, this is a book that fulfills SF's ability to entertain intelligently." -The Chicago Sun-Times "Peerless in his own generation, with few equals of any age. One of the fifty most influential people in the Chicago book world." -News City (Chicago) Praise for Gateway: "Gateway is one of those rare gems: a deeply human story set against the wonders and beauty of the infinite starry universe.
