Reviews and Notices

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.”
