“For nonfans as well as readers of science fiction.” --Booklist
“The stories are well-written, deeply thought out and a pleasure to read.” --Sunday Advocate, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
“The stories deal with tomorrow, but also with people.” --The Oregonian, Portland, Oregon
“A interesting look at what it might mean to grow up in tomorrow’s world.” --Children’s Books of the Year, Child Study Press, New York
“Roberson’s quick moving, easy style, the nicely delineated characters, and the provocative themes make ‘The Astoria Incident’ a success.” --Delap’s F & SF Review
“And then there is that superb story ‘The Beckoning Trail’ by Sylvia Engdahl and Rick Roberson in which a few of the crew members are able to comprehend the alien species which had signaled Earth. . . . Somewhat similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey, with a final act of courage and abandon, the more sensitive and accepting members of the group allow themselves to become consciously involved in the alien form of communication and thus leave ordinary earthlings far behind.” --The World of Children’s Books, University of Alberta
