R. Martin onWhen Gravity Fails"Muscular, convincing, yet continuously surprising."--Richard A. Lupoff onWhen Gravity Fails"One of the best cyberpunk novels I've read . . . Effinger's prose is terse, direct, vivid and often laced with an enchanting sense of humor . . . this is only part of the book's delightful texture . . . gives you a real sense of what it's like to be an old-fashioned gumshoe in the seedy backreaches of a futuristic arab nation."--The Providence Sunday JournalonWhen Gravity Fails"Wry, inventive, nearly hallucinatory . . . a well-written, baroque riff on the time-honored themes of Raymond Chandler."--Publisher's WeeklyonWhen Gravity Fails"This is the fourth or fifth time I've been asked to give a public comment on an Effinger book; and each time I've done it; and each time I've said you people are cheating yourselves if you don't forego food and rent to pick up on Effinger's work. Now, *this* time, will you for pete's sake listen to me and buy When Gravity Fails? It's as crazy as a spider on ice skates, plain old terrific; and if you don't pay attention I'll have to get tough with you! We have your childen and your dog. Buy, read and marvel...or else."-- Harlan Ellison onWhen Gravity Fails"Like a dive into the eye of a storm."  (The Washington Post Book World)"Fast, cool, clever, beautifully written, absolutely authoritative... absolutely original."
