Review:
"massive...impressive...huge amount of valuable information...an important milestone in todays sf criticism. Giving us a birds-eye view of the vast, rich, and yet generally unknown world of French sf and fantastique, it constitutes an unusually bright light at the end of our long ethnocentric tunnel"--Science Fiction Studies
