Reviews of the Works of John E. Stith

"Furthers his reputation as an up-and-coming hard-science writer. Many scenes and situations that inspire that much-coveted 'sense of wonder.' Exciting, thought-provoking summer reading."

"Narrative momentum and plot nudges to keep readers guessing and turning the pages."

"A science-fiction connoiseur's delight."

"Stith's gripping pace, penetrating insight into human nature, and well-crafted turn of phrase make Manhattan Transfer a 'can't turn it down' book."

"Manhattan Transfer has the makings of a stunningly visual movie. The opening scenes of Manhattan being severed from its steel and granite moorings by daunting alien lasery would itself be worth the price of admission."

"I would dearly love to see--on the biggest screen possible--the scene in which the aliens dome Manhattan, rip it from the bedrock, and lift it into space."

"Manhattan Transfer starts off with a bang and seldom lets up the pace. It succeeds as a chronicle of the human spirit. It is Highly Recommended."

"With Manhattan Transfer he's outdone himself. It's a book filled with invention, excitement, and entirely believable characters."

"Welcome back to the Golden Age! John E. Stith's Manhattan Transfer is exactly the kind of novel that hooked most of us on SF in the first place: a grand sense-of-wonder premise; a breakneck pace; dozens of really neat ideas per chapter."

"John E. Stith continues in the re-birth of a science-lover's science fiction."

"Cleverly drawn characters, an irresistible plot, an astonishing premise. All written with the superb skill of a truly polished science fiction master."

"Good stuff."
