"In a genre not often distinguished by strong characterization, Robinson is a welcome exception. Yet even the memorable community of his The Wild Shore did not prepare us for this brilliant triptych in which the monolithic artifact of the title and the events surrounding it are described and examined from widely different points of view. The distinct, personal voices of the narratives, as they construct and deconstruct their elegant theories, are a pleasure rare in SF." –Publishers Weekly
"This is a book that asks questions and provides poetic experiences rather than a book that answers questions. It has a Gene Wolfe quote on the cover, and I'm not at all surprised that Gene Wolfe likes this. (I just wish T.S. Eliot could have lived to read it.) It's odd but it's also wonderful." –Jo Walton, author of
Among Others "One of the greatest living science-fiction writers." –Tim Kreider,
The New Yorker "Robinson's works have placed him at the forefront of the science fiction genre." –
Kirkus "
Icehenge is a very well-constructed tale, designed to make the reader doubt, puzzle and think." –Fantasy Literature
