“[Ilium] will leave most readers waiting breathlessly for the next installment...utterly addictive.” - Kirkus Reviews
“Ilium is Simmons’s best book in years, wonderfully complex but compulsively readable. Only Simmons could mix together Homer, Shakespeare, and Proust with black holes, Turing machines, little green men and big honking robots to come up with a tale of high adventure that’s also an engrossing meditation on humanity’s past and future. A book that crackles with energy and invention.” - Joe Haldeman, author of The Forever War
