Kritik
"Zivkoviæ's fiction is rich in unexpected turns and twists, effects before the cause, and wondrous occurrences. ... This is a fascinating mix, full of the flavor of the past, ranging from the banal to the profound, and best read in small doses." (Franz Rottensteiner, Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 46, 2019)

"It is a volume of two halves, combining as it does both fact and fiction largely built around the core ideas of 'first contact' and 'time travel'. ... the book proved to have the most interest, with ... highly original and beautifully crafted short stories based around the two core themes of the book." (John Silvester, Odyssey The e-Magazine of the British Interplanetary Society, Issue 59, 2019)mehr
