"Neverness is excellent hard science fiction, with serious treatment of
difficult mathematical and genetic questions...Ultimately, the story is
about the search for meaning, the purpose, the secret of life. Zindell
has the audacity to answer that great question. And it is in his daring
to answer it that the book becomes, not'just a brilliant novel, but a
strong and serious view of human potential...I wish I had written this
book...because as I read it I heard Zindell say things I had tried to
say in many of my own works, but never did, not this clearly, not this
fully...I have read Zindell's book, and I want to know what he knew
that allowed him to tell this tale."
