Wonderful theories
The concepts and theories introduced in the story are amazing. The plot is unique and exciting and the overall story is very good. Personally I found the ending to be bit underwhelming, but still well worth he read.

Fantastic (for physics majors)
Overall, an elegant story...well developed and researched. It is, technically though, very difficult to read unless you are a physics major. Egan has done well to make his story plausible, but has lost the majority of SF readers as a result. The ending of the story is, in my humble opinion, chopped off and somewhat inelegant. It's as if Egan decided he'd gone on long enough...unless, of course, there is a sequel. I don't know, nor will I intend to find out, as the first book was so difficult to read.

brilliant science fiction
Twenty thousand years into the future, humanity has conquered everything in its path including death yet so far at least no other sentient life form has been found that did not originate from earth. Science rules, as knowledge is everything. However, a quantum physics experiment inadvertently creates a vacuum effect that forms a new universe with physical laws different from the current one. This universe is growing rapidly and eats anything in its path though nanotechnology has kept humanity safe by instant evacuation. <P>However, what is to be done about the ever-expanding new universe that threatens life as we know it becomes the subject of great debate. The Preservationists want to destroy the new universe before it consumes humanity. The Yielders prefer to allow the growth of the new universe in order to study the phenomena. In that void, star crossed lovers Tchicaya and Mariama join separate and opposing hostile camps. <P>SCHILD¿S LADDER is brilliant science fiction as it entertains the reader with an action-packed plot yet requires the audience to think about the ethical clashes that make up the science community as part of the larger society. The story line is cleverly designed to run faster than the speed of light yet maintains a cerebral moral fiber to the plot. Characters are fully developed so that the audience understands for instance the split between Tchicaya and Mariama. Fans of science fiction will want to read Greg Egan¿s distant future intelligent thriller that leaves the audience hungering for more novels like this one while debating current scientific moral dilemmas confronting society today. <P>Harriet Klausner
