Reviews
Praise for On the Steel Breeze "Clever and creative with lots of twists, tense moments and a perfectly balanced structure...On the Steel Breeze is Reynolds in top form."--SF Book "For SF fans, the possibilities and imagination that has gone into the book will remind them of the heady days of Asimov and Clarke, of an age where imagination and people were more important in telling the story of humanity and guessing about its future."--British Fantasy Society "Few SF writers merge rousing adventure with advanced futuristic technology as skillfully as Alastair Reynolds."--Toronto Star "Reynolds is a master of the slow build up leading to apocalyptic action, and On the Steel Breeze is no exception."--National Space Society
