"Hard, near future SF at its best...It's the last ship to leave Sol, and the feeling of loss and longing is strong. Get ready for one heck of a ride in this hard SF adventure." -M.D. Cooper
"A fast-paced sci-fi space adventure with plenty of action, intrigue, romance and even some ethical quandaries. Lasota does especially well in capturing the desperate, hopeful, frontier spirit of the last humans to escape a dying Earth." -Reader Greg
