"Vividly evoked. . . .Baker has a light touch, and her effervescent
characterization and talent for social comedy make "The Children of
the Company" picturesque and picaresque, sometimes extremely
funny." -Nick Gevers, "Locus"
"Keep your eye on Kage Baker! You never know where she's heading
next, but it's always worth going there. She's an edgy, funny,
complex, ambitious writer with the mysterious, true gift of
story-telling."
--Ursula K. Le Guin
"The book unfolds through both Labienus' memories and the journals
and artifacts of Victor and others caught in his web. As in the
other Company novels, the time line spanned is prodigious, despite
which Baker never stints on characters and details that capture the
reader's fancy."--"Booklist" on "The Children of the Company""
"
"Another entry in Baker's superlative series about Dr. Zeus . . . .
An astonishing and thoroughly satisfying installment. What's more,
Baker's overall concept and rationale, flawlessly sustained through
five books, grows ever more spellbinding and impressive." --"Kirkus
Reviews" (starred review) on "The Life of the World to Come"
