Samuel R. Delany to jeden z najwiekszych mistrzów amerykanskiej science fiction i fantasy. Laureat wszystkich najwazniejszych nagród w swiecie fantastyki - Hugo, Nebula, Locus, World Fantasy Award.
Powiesc "Nova", obok wydanej w tej samej serii "Babel 17" to szczytowe osiagniecie Delany'ego.
Delany jest kojarzony z Nowa Fala SF, ale to twórca samodzielny, nie lubiacy by go identyfikowano z jakimis ruchami literackimi, trudny do zaszufladkowania. Ma oryginalny styl, a powiesc Nova niewatpliwie nalezy do najwiekszych osiagniec science fiction, mozna ja smialo stawiac na jednej pólce z najlepszymi powiesciami Clarke'a, Bradbury'ego, Heinleina czy Herberta, ale literacko wyprzedza ich dokonania o staje.
To powiesc pra-cyberpunkowa i blisko jej do nurtu, który 20 lat pózniej stworzyl William Gibson.
Powiesc jest historia wyprawy po ilirion, niewyobrazalnie rzadkie i efektywne zródlo energii. Do celu zmierza kilka konkurujacych ze soba statków miedzygwiezdnych, a wygra tylko jeden - najsilniejszy, najsprytniejszy. Bohaterowie Delany'ego sa niezwykle barwni, to mieszkancy Ziemi, ksiezyców Drako i planet z Federacji Plejad. Kazdy z nich posiada ukryte zdolnosci, które moga pozwolic przechytrzyc przeciwnika.
Doskonala, wartka powiesc science fiction, jedna z najlepszych, jakie kiedykolwiek napisano.

"
"Here are (at least some of) the ways you can read "Nova" As fast-action far-flung interstellar adventure; as archetypal mystical/mythical allegory (in which the Tarot and the Grail both figure prominently); as modern myth told in the SF idiom . . . The reader observes, recollect, or participates in a range of personal human experience including violent pain and disfigurement, sensory deprivation and overload, man-machine communion, the drug experience, the creative experience--and interpersonal relationships which include incest and assassination, father-son, leader-follower, human-pet, and "lots" more." --Judith Merrill, "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction
"
"Samuel R. Delany is the most interesting author of science fiction writing in English today." --Gerald Jonas, "New York Times Book Review
"
"Samuel R. Delany, right now, as of this book, "Nova," not as of some future book or some accumulated body of work, is the best science-fiction writer in the world, at a time when competition for that status is intense. I don't see how a science fiction writer can do more than wring your heart while explaining how it works. No writer can. The special thing that science fiction does is to first credibly place the heart in an unconventional environment. A particular thing that recent science fiction has been doing is to make that unconventional environment a technological one. Another has been to make it a romantic one, sometimes calling it an intensely humanistic one . . . All of these things are accomplished in "Nova."" --A.J. Budrys, "Galaxy Magazine"
