What the critics say

"While not perhaps as utterly mind-boggling or stylistically outrageous as some of the A-list classics, [ Starplex] is scrupulously rigorous, exciting, surprising, and emotionally involving. In short, all you could ask for in any SF novel, hard or soft. ( Asimov's Science Fiction)
"Multiple award-winning Canadian author Sawyer offers an epic hard-science space adventure full of technical descriptions of starships and physics tempered by human concerns. In 2094, scientists on the Starplex study the mysterious artificial wormholes that make space travel routine and convenient. Then the wormholes' creators appear, and the scientists must understand and communicate with them to save the galaxy. Highly recommended for sf collections." ( Library Journal)

Sawyer beautifully, and logically, lays out the methods for world peace in a fantastic hard science fiction story. This should be required reading for all world leaders.

The voice actor does a great job with voicing the characters in a way that keeps them straight in the listeners mind.

Absolutely worth a read or listen.

Amazing story from the great Robert J. Sawyer

After reading a number of Mr. Sawyer's novels I can state that his imagination is not surpassed by any other author. I love the way he makes us consider how we might respond in these new surroundings he has built for us. #Audible1. His main characters often feel like an average man or woman which has been thrown into extraordinary circumstances. I sometimes wonder if he has already been to the future and is allowing us to glimpse that future.

Robert J. Sawyer never fails to intrigue
