"Watch for Stith's next book." |
| Wed, 1989-02-01 | Deep Quarry | Rave Reviews | Feb/Mar 1989 | Dorothy Renko |
"My favorite kind of story--a novel that starts small, then slowly builds in momentum until it fairly explodes with excitement. Deep Quarry is intriguing, mystery/science fiction at its best." |
| Wed, 1989-02-01 | Deep Quarry | Drood Review of Mystery | February 1989 | Ed Blachman |

| Wed, 1989-03-01 | Deep Quarry | FOSFAX | March 1989 | Joseph T. Major |
"What makes this all the more amazing is that it is written under the conventions of a hard-boiled detective novel--only it had to be science fiction--and it is good at both." |
| Sat, 1989-04-01 | Deep Quarry | Mensa Bulletin | April 1989 | Tom Elliott |
"Science fiction with a sense of humor." |
| Thu, 1989-06-01 | Deep Quarry | Isaac Asimov's SF Magazine | June 1989 | Baird Searles |
"I let a couple of John Stith's SF mysteries go by without checking them out.... If I'd been a little faster off the mark, I could have turned you on to a good thing earlier...." |
| Thu, 1989-06-01 | Deep Quarry | Magazine of Fantasy & SF | June 1989 | Orson Scott Card |
"Sense of wonder story-telling at its best, with enough danger to keep me reading long past my bedtime. Come on. You've been good. You deserve to read Deep Quarry.... Stith can do it every time." |
| Sat, 1989-04-01 | Deep Quarry | Analog | April 1989 | Tom Easton |
""[Deep Quarry is] bright and breezy, flip and fast.... |

"A fun romp." |
| Sat, 1989-07-01 | Deep Quarry | SF-Gids (Belgium) | July 1989 | Patrick Van de Wiele |
"A fluently written, absorbing and action-filled novel. I also enjoyed the humor very much, which balances the suspense and makes the book even harder to put down." |
| Sat, 1989-07-01 | Deep Quarry | SFRA Newsletter | July 1989 | Steve Carper |
"Heavy dose of action....satisfyingly convoluted." |
