| Redshift Rendezvous |
"A fascinating excursion into the relativistic universe, where length contraction, time dilation, and like phenomena are real enough to affect your table manners. I was a willing captive in the story from page one." |

| Redshift Rendezvous |
"A lot of science fiction novels discuss hyperspace; Redshift Rendezvous puts you there! ... Easily Stith's best novel to date--and that's no small accomplishment." |

| Redshift Rendezvous |
"This is absolutely one of the most terrific ideas for an SF novel I've seen in years. My first thought was, 'Why couldn't I have come up with this?' My second thought, too." |

| Redshift Rendezvous |
"The Sense of Wonder is not dead! Redshift Rendezvous is an able and smoothly commercial blend of spectacularly extrapolated science and intrigue. John Stith has wrought something wonderful here." |

| Redshift Rendezvous |
"The list of science fiction authors who play the game the hard way by sticking to the rules of science is all too short. Now to that group which includes Clarke, Niven, Asimov, Bear, and Clement should be added the name of John E. Stith." |

| Reckoning Infinity |
"...the goal is worth the journey. As always, Stith's imagination is worth a visit." |

| Reckoning Infinity |
"Although the book is not meant to be a comedy by any means, I can only describe it as a cross between 'Rama' and 'James and the Giant Peach', and I had a great time reading it." |
1997-10-15 | October 1997 | Mars Hotel | Jerry & April | view |
| Reckoning Infinity |
"Wondrous situations, marvelous discoveries, good characters, and a nicely tuned plot." |

| Reckoning Infinity |
"When you sit down with RECKONING INFINITY, plan to spend some time. Because once you start, believe me, you'll be hooked. John E. Stith writes like a house on fire, propelling you into a crazy, fun-house world, where everything is dangerously upside down and inside out--with no exit in sight." |
1997-08-01 | August 1997 | Science Fiction Book Club | Unknown | view |
| Reckoning Infinity |
"vividly imagined, from the big opening scenes of the shuttle-habitat collision, to the descriptions of the medical procedures used to save Alis's life, to the small details of working (and being injured) in spacesuits." |
1997-07-01 | July 1997 | Locus | Russell Letson | view |
| Reckoning Infinity |
"Readers are treated to another voyage through John Stith's imagination with his eighth novel, Reckoning Infinity." (reprint of review in Gazette) |
1997-06-16 | 16 June 1997 | Chicago Tribune | Lou Gonzales | view |
| Reckoning Infinity |
"John Stith is among the finest writers of hard science fiction in the world. ... In what can best be described as 'The Six-Million Dollar Woman' meets 'Rendezvous with Rama,' Stith will keep you turning the pages as he reveals the marvels of an alien 'moonscape.'" |
1997-06-08 | 8 June 1997 | Rocky Mountain News | Mark Graham | view |
| Reckoning Infinity |
"Stith's storytelling gets better with each book. The engineer in him satisfies hardcore sci-fi readers with all the technological nuts and bolts they have come to expect. But the storyteller in him puts real people back into science fiction." |
1997-05-18 | 18 May 1997 | Gazette | Lou Gonzales | view |
| Reckoning Infinity |
"Author John E. Stith presents a riveting story of wonder and discovery. The sense of excitement as the characters discover new and alien environments and technology literally flows from the pages to infect the reader. John E. Stith may very well be this generation's Arthur C. Clarke." |

| Reckoning Infinity |
"[Reckoning Infinity] has realistic character interactions, plenty of complications (with suspense to match) and more than enough puzzles for a great computer game." |
1997-04-13 | 13 April 1997 | San Diego Union-Tribune | unknown | view |
| Reckoning Infinity |
"The well-paced suspense shows Stith's mystery background." (reprint of Denver Post review) |

| Reckoning Infinity |
"Stith writes in the best hard-sf manner, dropping characters into a situation that can be solved only by thought and reason, but he also, more modernly, creates real and believable characters. He is becoming one of the most eloquent modern hard-sf practitioners." |
