"A very interesting turn-around story, in which our expectations are upended at the last minute. ...a good read, and sadly, far too relevant to our own present world." —The Billion Light-Year Bookshelf

"...great fun to read" —Dreams and Speculations

"...has a woman fed chemicals to prove whether she's human or a shape-shifter ... well worth reading." —SF Crowsnest Reviews
