Taking glorious flight, Feb 18 2005
By William Timothy Lukeman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: THE CLOUD WALKER (Mass Market Paperback)
In this short but powerful story of an artist & aspiring aviator in an oppressive future, the criminally neglected Edmund Cooper returns to one of his favorite themes: the need for the imagination to soar & find its own life, its own reason for being (see also his novella "The Firebird" in "Double Phoenix," for example). Like so many science fiction novels from the late 60s/early 70s, this is a concise, straightforward story without any unnecessary padding; yet it's also rich in detail, characterization & depth. I think it's Cooper's single finest work, and urgently in need of reprinting. Any reader of adventurous science fiction could do far worse than discover this stirring tale. Recommended!

Short and sweet., Oct 27 2004
By C. Campagna "apocalyptic hunter" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cloud Walker (Paperback)
This novel could have been called Rise of the machines. Men has destroyed civilization twice and in the third age of Man, machines are proscribed by the Luddite Church.The first part of the book introduces Kieron, an artist painter who want to fly. Anybody is thinking about Leonardo di Vinci? The pace of the story is slow but it is well written and the chapters are short so it all flows well.
The second part, however, is all about war and revenge. Strange how war always brings out the best in ingeniosity in men. I had a lot of fun reading this story and I expect you will.

Cooper is completely out of print??, Sep 5 2011
By jazmaan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cloud Walker (Paperback)
Glad to see that a large selection of Edmund Cooper's works will be coming to Kindle in late Sept 2011. He deserves much wider recognition as a great writer of social science fiction.
