"Michael Kube-McDowell's THE QUIET POOLS is science
fiction of the highest quality...Thought-provoking and
scientifically believable, THE QUIET POOLS is nearly impossible
to put down, as its brilliant balancing of plots, action, moral
debates, and characters creates intense levels of interest and
tension."
--Gene LaFaille, WILSON LIBRARY BULLETIN
"Kube-McDowell presents the world of 2095...The society
is believable, socially and technically, the writing keeps a
steady pace building toward the climax, and the secret proves to
be quite imaginative."
--PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY
"An exciting, emotionally involving stunner."
--Michael Berry, SAN FRANSCISO CHRONICLE
"An intense, thought-provoking book that explores our
relationship to each other and to the Earth we live on. An
exciting (and possibly dangerous) premise...THE QUIET POOLS is a
wonderfully written, compelling book. Michael Kube-McDowell
blends science and technology with some stunning prose...Make no
mistake -- this is an important book that is sure to be a
trend-setter for speculative fiction dealing with important
issues in the 90's."
--Jeff Scott Smith, RAVE REVIEWS
"THE QUIET POOLS is a successful, fascinating novel that
will leave you much to think about. It places Kube-McDowell
solidly among the field's important contemporary authors."
--Janice Eisen, ABORIGINAL SF
"There is a glad tale-telling energy about the book--just
as there was about James Tiptree Jr.'s best stories--that carries
one on, as though to joy."
--John Clute, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"A fast-paced adventure that explores man's place in the
universe as well as the nature of the human spirit."
--David E. Jones, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
