LOCUS, April, 2000 Kress’s “Sleepless” trilogy proved that she was a serious
writer, worthy of considered attention. Probability Moon only
emphasizes that. While the race between the crew of the Zeus and the
alien Fallers contrasted by the struggle of the landing team to have the
Terrans declared “real” makes for a thoroughly entertaining thriller,
the discussion of the “shared reality” of the Worlders is an interesting
philosophical debate on how we choose to define other people as real,
and hence worthy of being include d in the mainstream of society.
Probability Moon is a good novel, and good science fiction. BOOKLIST, April 15, 2000
The climax of the book is a four-way
conflict among the scientists, the two alien races, and the scientists’
military superiors, each charging from a different corner, so to speak.
Kress’s characterizations are as sound as ever, but many will be
agreeabl y surprised at her proficiency with military hardware and
action scenes. Very impressive. |
