Reviews of Against Infinity \"Likely to be considered one of the best SF novels of the year...a powerfully evocative book.\"-Algis Budrys \"Benford is a rarity: a scientist who writes with verve and insight not only about black holes and cosmic strings, but about human desires and fears.\"-The New York Times Book Review \"Typical Benford virtues...a gritty, three-dimensional future, a believable hero, a real flair for the alien.\"-Publishers Weekly \"A confident grasp of the workings and consequences of bio technics, a gift for action scenes and an ability to conceive of a creature as awesome and wondrous as his Aleph.
