Some reviews:
“Extraordinarily fresh and thought-provoking, with some of the most memorable people you’ll ever meet.” —Analog Science Fiction & Fact
“A story that is so poignant that I found myself in tears. Sawyer has written another classic.” —The Davis Enterprise, Davis, California
“One of those books you can’t put down … truly engrossing human drama; characters that are totally realistic. It’s got mainstream appeal but is also a great read for fans of thought-provoking science fiction. ***** [out of 5]” —SF Signal
“Beyond the SF trappings, Rollback is a story about love and commitment, about humanity at its most basic — a novel to be savoured by science-fiction and mainstream readers alike.” —The Globe and Mail: Canada’s National Newspaper
“A dynamite science fiction novel; a wholly satisfying story.” —January Magazine
“Above all, the author’s characters bear their human strengths and weaknesses with dignity and poise. An elegantly told story for all libraries; highly recommended.” —Library Journal (starred review)
