“Excellent”—ARBA; “Comprehensive, neatly balanced and lavishly illustrated...SF fans may never have had so thorough a tribute to their genre.”—Publishers Weekly; “An excellent, an intelligent, comprehensive, and above all objective history...a minor miracle”—Science Fiction Review; “The hundreds of photos of science fiction writers and the equally large number of reproductions of covers from the pulp magazines make it a treasure.”—Jackson Sun; “Gunn gives the history of sf according to Verne, Wells and Campbell. And he does so brilliantly, in a study that will long remain the voice for the so-called ‘hard concept of sf.’”—Extrapolation.
