4.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile, Sep 3 2008
By Erik D. Young - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Unique and almost poetic at times, a good book that sets the stage for the following parts of the story.
Those with little patience and the need for instant gratification may not appreciate Benford's style, but anyone who gets upset when a series ends should enjoy this string of stories.

1.0 out of 5 stars Better Physics than writing SciFi!, Jul 7 2004
By Paul A. Denton (East Texas, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: IN THE OCEAN OF NIGHT (Mass Market Paperback)
I really fail to see what all the hype is about this very boring book. It is a long, boring collection of misconnected thoughts. Since they are misconnected they never come together.

What is the final resolution of Alexandria being resurrected? That is never developed.

What is the point of the "new sons"? It is just an incidental group that comes and goes through out this endless barage of ramblings.

In my estimation, Gregory Benford should stay with teaching Physics, which I hope he does better than attempting to write SciFi!

Get a grip folks. There are reviewers that will aclaim ANYTHING!

I finally put this rag where it belongs...in the trash.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay SciFi., Jun 15 2004
By A Customer
Nothing real special in this science fiction story, nothing unusual, nothing real exciting. But I did enjoy the read.
