Tim Lebbon s inspired reworking of the themes of Samuel Coleridge s Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a thought-provoking short read. It resituates the Mariner in deep space, on board an ark heading for a new world after the Earth has been devastated . . . An enthralling tale. 9/10. --SciFi Bulletin
RIME is damned well crafted, beautifully and painfully told, and a welcome addition to Science Fiction . . . It can stand alone and proud among the future Classics of Science Fiction. --South African Speculative Fiction Review
