Reviews
“Gene Wolfe is the smartest, subtlest, most dangerous writer alive today, in genre or out of it. If you don’t read this book you’ll have missed out on something important and wonderful and all the cool people will laugh at you.” —Neil Gaiman, author of
Anansi Boys, on The Knight
“Most writers of fantasy or science fiction know how to tell rattling good stories. But Gene Wolfe not only entertains, he invests his work with a complexity and trickiness that place him among the most important writers of our time.” —The Washington Post
“A welcome addition from one of the genre’s most literate and thoughtful authors; highly recommended.” —Library Journal starred review on Soldier of Sidon
“Powerful and pleasing. It’s all rather like Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile, only vastly more interesting and significant. Wolfe is a grand master of the symbolic epic, and as with any other of his novels, the events in Sidon will fuel years of re-reading, decoding, and reinterpretation. This is a remarkable artistic accomplishment by Gene Wolfe.” —Nick Gevers, Locus on Soldier of Sidon
