Review:

"Stableford has triumphantly created his own niche of hard biological SF, containing the genre's most intelligently imagined marvels and nightmares." -David Langford "Stableford is very good at gradually unfurling his wheels-within-wheels plots, and he displays a commendable interest in exploring the consequences of biological advances." --"Washington Post Book World" on "Inherit the Earth"
