Reviews:
"Zelazny has blessed a string of round robin novels by a group of junior authors, based on his idea for a Big Racetrack in the Sky, a place where the greatest racers and the fastest vehicles would come together for the most exciting races ever run... Young readers will find it every bit as fascinating as an earlier generation found PLANET OF LIGHT by Raymond F. Jones or SONS OF THE OCEAN DEEP by Bryce Walton. Carver does a creditable job of moving his part of the story along. Carver and his successors may make fusion race groupies out of us yet."

"Carver's a good author, and in CLYPSIS he writes a nice coming of age tale. Carver's got the energy of the track, the obsession that makes people attempt the impossible down cold. This is a good book."
--Chuq Von Rospach, OTHERREALMS
