Pushing Ice
PUSHING ICE
“A believable and interesting cast of characters, and the political intrigue both on
board the Rockhopper and among the various forms of alien intelligence they
eventually meet will keep readers guessing.”
The Rocky Mountain News
“A fantastic tale of survival and adaptation to strange surroundings. Wow!”
The Weekly Press (Philadelphia, PA)
“Spectacular… [Reynolds] has a genius for big-concept SF and fans of Arthur C.
Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama and Larry Niven’s Ringworld will love this novel.”
Publishers Weekly
“It’s often possible to guess at what lies ahead, but such guesses only flesh out so
much of the story. As a result, there’s still a wonderful sense of exploration that
echoes the experience of the Rockhopper’s crew. In any case, the story is so well-
paced that it’s preferable to just put your feet up and go along for the ride than to
try and second-guess the author. Pushing Ice is a brilliant read and demonstrates
that Reynolds is continuing to travel from strength to strength. It comes highly
recommended to all readers of SF, no matter their individual predilections.”

“Pure space opera… the beauty of the piece isn’t in the decidedly familiar plotlines
but in the way that the writer reworks them… Reynolds takes in all of these great

Pushing Ice
ideas and plays with our assumptions, producing a surprising ending that is more
upbeat than most pieces of space opera, arguing that the fact that intelligent life
exists in a cold and hostile universe is a fantastic and beautiful thing that should be
celebrated rather than mourned… The combination of the nicely re-thought
familiar plot devices and Reynolds’ solid prose and beautifully crafted pacing make
reading this book not unlike enjoying a really well made version of your favorite
comfort food.”
Revolution Science Fiction
“Reynolds… does not take the expected route… Pushing Ice is very well done
indeed… well worth a read.”
Emerald City
“Where this transcends the average ho-hum space opera is the uber-text that
contemplates the incomprehensible immensity of the universe and the relative
insignificant presence—yet nevertheless unique fact—of human existence…
entertaining and… hopeful.”
SF Site
CENTURY RAIN
“Reynolds possesses the true and awesome widescreen SF imagination… an
exciting, thought-provoking novel.”
Locus
Century Rain fuses time travel, hard SF, alternate history, interstellar adventure,
and noir romance to create a novel of blistering power and style.”
SFRevu
“For Reynolds’s efforts, the reader is treated to concepts that engage on a galactic

scale and snippets of humor in touchy situations. Yes, the pace is easy, but it belies
a low hum of excitement that crescendos to a counterpoint of science and humanity
saving one or two worlds.”
The Kansas City Star
DIAMOND DOGS, TURQUOISE DAYS
“A tale of blood and brainpower… nonstop thrills.”
Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine
“Astronomer Reynolds’s two far-future space exploration novellas… confirm his
mastery of noir SF… brilliantly executed parables.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
ABSOLUTION GAP

Novels of the Year, SF Site
“Reynolds’s plot rapidly builds momentum, hurtling to a stunning conclusion.
Cinematic imagery and strong characters ably carry this juggernaut of a story, with
Big Ideas strewn about like pebbles on a beach.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A book of great fascination, rich description, and memorable action.”
Locus

REDEMPTION ARK
Best Science Fiction Novel oftheYear, Chronicle One of the Best SF Novels
oftheYear, Locus
“The best of the new breed of space opera. Wild action on a grand scale spans well-
imagined and developed worlds—bold and new with sharply defined differences in
both characters and the changed definitions of humanity.”
The Denver Post
“Clearly one of the year’s major science fiction novels… The book Reynolds’s
readers have been waiting for.”
Locus

oftheYear, Locus
“A terrific treat. I was hooked from page one… Ferociously intelligent and imbued
with a chilling logic—it may really be like this Out There.”
—Stephen Baxter, co-author of The Light of Other Days
“Intensely compelling; darkly intelligent; hugely ambitious.” —Paul J. McAuley,
author of Whole Wide World
