Review:
"Stargate," which goes back to the theological beginnings of the world, is ambitious and serious fantasy, a vivid portrait of rich civilizations and their fall from the heavenly kingdom. "Richmond Times-Dispatch""
A stunning trip through time and space. "Stargate" is like a powerful dose of a mood-altering drug; it s a trip that reaches not only the heights of the unknown but of the unimaginable as well. A grand read. "The Magazine""
""Stargate"offers a subtle, rich, and fanstastically vivid look into a world filled with characters who play to and transcend our own human flaws." OMNI"
In addition to being provocative, "Stargate" is an enjoyable novel. Its premise is enthralling and the characters, in enacting that premise, express in an insightful way something significant about human nature. "Vancouver Sun""
Gedge has fashioned a remarkable blend of gripping entertainment and haunting ideas that linger long after the book has been put down. Globe and Mail
"Pauline Gedge tells a story that will pull at the heart strings." Book Him Danno"

"
Gedge is a skilled stylist and her prose is luminous and poetic. . . . Those with a taste for poetry and spiritual speculation may well be pleased with this theological thriller. San Francisco Chronicle"
As a describer of a fantasy world, Gedge must have few peers. Her word pictures of her strange planets enable us to visualize them easily and to believe in their existence. Victoria Times Colonist"
