5.0 out of 5 stars
A real classic
I was greatly entertained by Williamson's work here. It's old school, but not everything has to be Greg Benford, after all.

I came in determined to like this book. After all, I had seen authors I like, such as Poul Anderson and Ben Bova, talking about him as one of the all-time greats. So I got this book--and wished I hadn't. I mean, we have a black hole gobbling up the planets one by one. Apparently Mr. Williamson believes the planets will voluntarily line up in the way of the hyperbolic orbit of the black hole, rather than being randomly dispersed on both sides of the sun, the way they are in this universe. Also, the characters are thin and unbelievable. I'm left thinking that Frederik Pohl must have been doing the lion's share of the work in his collaborations with Williamson. Sorry, I'm sure Jack is a very nice guy, but as a writer he doesn't seem to have evolved much from the pulps.
