Reviews
“Ports of Call is a picaresque adventure which begins very
much in the style of Wodehousian comedy of manners….Authorial maturity, like well-aged whisky, can offer a remarkable combination of merriment, philosophical musings, and a wicked bite.” —Locus
“Classic space opera is alive and kicking….This jaunty, politically incorrect tale provides first-rate escapist entertainment.” —Publishers Weekly
“Simply to announce that Jack Vance has a new novel out should be enough to send you scurrying to your nearest bookstore, cash in hand and Vance’s name quivering on your lips. Vance’s achievements over the past five decades have been of such consistently high quality that his books rank as must-buys, no foreknowledge of subject matter or ostensible genre necessary.” —SF Eye
