C.M. Kornbluth: The Life and Works of a Science Fiction Visionary
... "Magisterial" -- Robert Silverberg
... "Profoundly impressive, absolutely remarkable. This is a stunning work." -- Barry N. Malzberg
... "A scholarly text (with the requisite forty pages of notes) that reads like a novel, Rich's book is nothing short of a delight." -- Don Sakers, in Analog
... "Required reading." -- Steven Silver's Reviews
... "Endlessly fascinating ... one of the most detailed and documented accounts that we have of a central but largely unresearched era in the development of modern SF." -- Gary K. Wolfe, in Locus
... "Not just the life of C.M. Kornbluth. It is also a biography of the science fiction movement that was largely started by Hugo Gernsback in the 1920s and '30s ... A highly recommendable book that is an excellent read." -- The Operaphile

C.M. Kornbluth: The Life and Works of a Science Fiction Visionary
"I've missed a night of sleep and a day of work compulsively reading your book on Cyril and the Futurians! You are a thinker and writer ... and it reads like a three-ring circus with all the rings circling and acrobats swinging from trapeze to trapeze. You manage to get it all in." -- Katherine MacLean, author of The Missing Man.
