Title View
Redshift Rendezvous

"Lots of action, even a romance, and lots of wry humor."

Redshift Rendezvous

"Redshift Rendezvous reads very much like the Gil Hamilton stories by Larry Niven, and should be considered required reading by anyone who enjoyed them."

1990-03-03 Winter 1990 OtherRealms Chuq Von Rospach view
Memory Blank

"Stith's concentration on character ultimately surpasses all genres, making Memory Blank a fine novel of suspense for all."

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

"Redshift Rendezvous is a highly imaginative book, an engaging story working with mind-stretching concepts. I highly recommend it."

1990-01-02 Author quote Author quote C. J. Cherryh view
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."

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."

Deep Quarry

"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."

Deep Quarry

"Heavy dose of action....satisfyingly convoluted."

Deep Quarry

"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...."

1989-06-01 June 1989 Isaac Asimov's SF Magazine Baird Searles view
Deep Quarry

"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."

1989-03-01 March 1989 Science Fiction Chronicle Don D'Ammassa view
Deep Quarry

"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."

1989-03-01 March 1989 FOSFAX Joseph T. Major view
Deep Quarry

"Successful blend of sf and hard-boiled detective fiction."

1989-02-15 15 February 1989 Library Journal Jackie Cassada view
Deep Quarry

"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."

Deep Quarry

"Stith's writing is good."
