Reviews of EXILE


1992 Nebula Award Preliminary Ballot (Best Novel)


"An excellent variation on a classic science fiction theme...superior world-building...highly recommended!"
-- BOOKLIST


"A true work of art...thoughtful and enthralling...this will stand as a classic in the field along with 1984 and Fahrenheit 451."
-- FOSFAX


"A moving, intelligent story of the search for truth and the struggle against oppression."
-- PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY


"A strong and moving novel...complex, intellectually keen, and affecting."
-- NEW YORK NEWSDAY


"Kube-McDowell depicts a civilization quietly gone awry in this compelling and disturbing story of a man's recovery of his lost honor...On the basis of literary merit as well as good storytelling, EXILE belongs in most SF collections."
-- LIBRARY JOURNAL


"Michael P. Kube-McDowell is a terrific writer who weds fast-paced adventure with emotionally involving human drama...EXILE explores what happens when the evidence of a person's own eyes contradicts what everyone else believes. Though it takes place on another planet, in a society vastly different from ours, it offers a universal exploration of the nature of friendship, loyalty, and courage."
--SENSE OF WONDER
