Review Quotes: "I loved the blank verse, so supple and expressive; and the command of a fictional history, the epic sweep of a macro-plot along with the many interesting characters and situations at the personal level. Also, the poetry of philosophy of history and science, always fitted to the action, and really forming the core of the action. I don't think anyone else does what you do, not in our time, and with so much being written and published, who else can say that? It's wonderful." -Kim Stanley Robinson, bestselling and award-winning author, in a letter to the author "Fred Turner['s...] brilliant future-epic poem." -David Brin, bestselling and award-winning author "...it was a delight to read, and it works extremely well in the context of other contemporary terraforming and geoengineering narratives." - Chris Pak, Editor-in-Chief of the Science Fiction Research Association's SFRA Review "I don't believe there is anyone else who could have written a narrative poem like this one. This is not cheap flattery but simply an acknowledgment that there are very few active writers who have the polymathic breadth and depth to pull off the high wire act of Apocalypse. ... This is an amazing creation, utterly absorbing-and I am very glad that you've allowed me an early entrance into this fascinating imagined world. Readers need this poem." - Robert Crossley, Professor Emeritus of the English Department at the University of Massachusetts Boston and author of Imagining Mars: A Literary History
