With Survival, Czerneda has begun the Species Imperative Series with a very big bang and an engrossing prelude that makes the wait for the next volume seem painfully long. -- Lisa DuMond, MEviews
This is truly a wonderful Book, like a cheesecake, it's utterly delicious from the first chapter to the last, and a sense of triumph at finally finishing it off. -- Madeline Yeh, SFRevu
...this Book does show some promise. -- Geoff Willmetts
In all, this is an enjoyable novel, with well-thought-out aliens, wonderful viewpoint character and solid supporting cast, and twisty and at times breathless plot. -- David Brukman, In Other Worlds
Plain and simple: This is Czerneda's best work to date. -- Paul Goat Allen, Barnes And Noble
