Industry Reviews "There are no rules in Jonathan Carroll's new novel: the book is a bemusing, fascinating succession of surprises, mysteries, misdirections and reversals....The joy of reading it is the joy of discovery; the risk of reading it is the risk of becoming lost....There are no easy answers here, but there are many difficult questions. These are, in the final reckoning, much more valuable." January Magazine - David Dalgleish (04/20/2001)
"Throughout a narrative that seems complicated even by the unpredictable standards of Jonathan Carroll, McCabe emerges as a deeply textured and even heroic character, whose final sacrifice in simple human terms is both appropriate to the narrative and deeply moving." Locus - Gary K. Wolfe (02/20/2001)
