"Hopscotch is cracking goodswift, sure storytelling, with more plot twists than a snake and twice the bite." Gregory Benford, author of Eater

"Kevin J. Anderson is in top form in Hopscotch, a rousing tale that charges hard into territory where nobody has gone before. This one may be the most original book of the year." Jack McDevitt, author of Infinity Beach
