=== Retrospective ===
Jess Nevins said of the novel, "The Great War Syndicate isn't exactly uninteresting, but the great amount of time spent on the details of the war detract, to some degree, from the book. The more interesting aspects of the concept--international reaction to the United States owning seemingly-invulnerable superweapons, what happens after the war is over, etc--are overlooked in favor of the unnecessary detail and particulars of the war itself and the weapons' effects. Nor is Stockton's style particularly gripping; it's matter-of-fact, but does not in any way communicate any real excitement to the reader. Those aspects of the book, plus the distasteful American exceptionalism and triumphing, make it a book to be avoided, rather than read.".Fantastic Victoriana: W - Jess Nevins - Retrieved 19 March 2024
