Modessit handles the five voices well, particularly those of the detective, singer, and researcher, and sets their stories against a well-realized social and political background, incorporating interesting philosophical questions about reality and beauty into the action without slowing the pace. --Roz Genessee
Praise for the Science Fiction of L. E. Modesitt, Jr.
Adiamante
"Mr. Modesitt does not merely posit a threatened Utopia; he spells out in great detail the rules and regulations that govern daily life.... Because he dares to be explicit about first principles, the narrative assumes the shape of an intellectual suspense story: how can the
manifestly decent people of Old Earth defend themselves against aggression without violating their deeply held beliefs? The answer is both morally persuasive and emotionally wrenching."-The New York Times
"L. E. Modesitt, Jr., returns to hard SF--and it's been worth the wait. Adiamante is a rollicking adventure with a great moral dilemma at its core--the kind of novel that makes your heart beat faster while you're reading it, and yet leaves you pondering deep questions long after you've finished the last page. Immensely enjoyable and beautifully
written--easily Modesitt's best yet."-Robert J. Sawyer
The Parafaith War
"With echoes of both Joe Haldeman's The Forever War and Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers: dense, gritty, strong on technical detail."-Kirkus Reviews
Of Tangible Ghosts
"Meticulously extrapolated...Alternate world tales and espionage thrillers both demand an abundance of intricate detail to be convincing and Modesitt doesn't stint for either thread of his narrative." -Washington Post Book World
