Review:
"If you like your science fiction crammed with a sense of wonder, Larry Niven may be the man for you... a fascinating central location... the science is impeccable and the authors pull off some evocative visuals." --SFX Magazine
Bowl of Heaven is the first installment of what will be the biggest sci-fi saga since well, since ever. If only more of us could share the authors visions, and optimism. The Wall Street Journal
It s easy to settle in and enjoy the sci-fi smorgasbord served up by Gregory Benford and Larry Niven. . .There's a lot to savor. Fans of so-called hard science fiction will enjoy the descriptions of ionic scoop fusion drives and all the solar-powered gadgets put to practical use during deep space exploration. The Associated Press
If you like hard SF with mind-stretching ideas both physical and psychological then you definitely want to read this book. Analog
Bowl of Heaven has room to accommodate both the thrill-ride and head-scratching sides of its sub-tradition, and I think when the second half appears, this new effort by two of the Old Masters will hold its own just fine. Locus
A solid work that will appeal to fans of classic hard SF. --Publishers Weekly
"Beyond human imagination." -- --Fantasy Book Review
