Review
"Starts with a bang and keeps getting better. Carver handles not one, but two hot topics, and presents both vividly." --David Brin "Running from the micro to the macro and back again, redefining sentience, space-time, and perhaps humanity along the way, FROM A CHANGELING STAR is a fast-paced puzzler, rush in invention, and Jeffrey A. Carver's most ambitious book to date." --Roger Zelazny "Carver does an excellent job of tickling your sense of wonder, and in the end he leaves you both satisfied and craving another serving of his considerable talent." --ANALOG "Carver's best book yet! FROM A CHANGELING STAR combines deft characterization and fascinating extrapolation into a complex, compulsively readable thriller. I wish all science fiction novels could be this good." --Craig Shaw Gardner "This is the rare science fiction novel that has everything: a mysterious and exciting story that grabs you from the first page, characters (both alien and human) who will come to matter a great deal to you, and some fascinating scientific concepts (from nanotechnology to hyperstrings). Most of all, it has what only the best science fiction can offer: an almost mystical sense of the wonder and strangeness of this universe and the creatures who inhabit it. If you're not crying at the end, you're a robot. It is Carver's best book." --Richard Bowker, author of REPLICA and DOVER BEACH "As audacious and imaginative as the best of John Varley, with characters as memorable as those of Sturgeon or Zelazny, and with one of the most powerful endings in science fiction." --Spider Robinson
