"Strong military action, slick social maneuvering, and a good deal of
psychological tension."--San Diego Union-Tribune
"Mr. Modesitt does not merely posit a threatened Utopia; he spells out
in great detail the rules and regulations that govern daily
life....because he dares to be explicit about first principles, the
narrative assumes the shape of an intellectual suspense story: how can
the manifestly decent people of Old Earth defend themselves against
aggression without violating their deeply held beliefs? The answer is
both morally persuasive and emotionally wrenching."--The New York
Times
"Immensely enjoyable and beautifully written--easily Modesitt's best
yet."--Robert J. Sawyer
