Time

“Of those who work in the grand epic-fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best. In fact . . . this is as good a time as any to proclaim him the American Tolkien.”

“A vivid, effective horror story.”

Books and Bookman on Nightflyers

“A ten-course meal of ghostly pilots, exploding telepaths, hatches opening suddenly onto the void, murderous lasers untouched by human hands, and alien vastness looming in the distance.”
