Critics Review
Praise for The Godel Operation:
“With this freewheeling story of an ancient, cunning artificial intelligence and its naïve human companion, Cambias (The Initiate) mashes humor, mystery, and looming apocalypse into a roundly satisfying space epic… . With plenty of fun moments along the way, this raucous adventure through the solar system’s distant future will appeal to any fan of lighter science fiction.” —Publishers Weekly
“Cambias makes his solar system feel very alive, with wildly different cultures on different planets and moons … It is far-future space opera that is astronomically contained and written with a lightning bolt.” —Warped Factor
Praise for Arkad’s World:
“Far-flung adventure … Cambias offers up an entertaining coming-of-age novel filled with action and surprises. His aliens are suitably non-human in mannerisms, attitudes, and objectives, and his worldbuilding suggests a vast universe ready for further exploration. Readers … will find this hits the spot.” —Publishers Weekly
“… a classic quest story, a well-paced series of encounters with different folk along the way, building momentum toward a final confrontation with Arkad’s past … [with] a delicious twist to the end.” —ALA Booklist
“Cambias has achieved a feat of world-building: an expansive, believable setting with fascinating aliens, compelling mysteries, and a rich sense of history.” —Bookpage
“Drop a teenage boy into a distant planet chock-full of colorful aliens—with troubles all their own. Stir, flavor, apply heat. A tour de force in the field, and great, quick fun.” —Gregory Benford

“James Cambias will be one of the century’s major names in hard science fiction.” —Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Red Planet Blues
“Fast-paced, pure quill hard science fiction… . Cambias delivers adroit plot pivots that keep the suspense coming.” —Gregory Benford, Nebula Award-winning author of Timescape
