Even if you live outside the UK, it's well worth the additional postage! -- John C. Snider, Scifi Dimensions

...nice to see two shorter stories being given high-street shelf space by a mainstream publisher... -- Mark Watson, Best SF

Alastair Reynolds has written a startling and ambitious story that anyone who was drawn to the questions raised by Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? will enjoy. -- Rodger Turner, SF Site

Diamond Dogs is glam-goth science fiction played loud and is destined to become as much of a classic as the Bowie song that inspired the title. -- John Berlyne, SF Revu

Turquoise Days is a fine work that stands well alongside stories like "Great Wall of Mars", "Glacial", and Diamond Dogs, and that highlights the need for a full-length story collection from this Author. -- Jonathan Strahan, Locus

This is genuine Science Fiction, its premises logical and convincing, a believable - if distinctly disturbing - future presented in compelling prose. -- Joules Taylor, SFCrowsnest
