Wells is to the British variety or Jules Verne is to the French. We all stand on his broad shoulders."--Robert J. Sawyer"Nobody, possibly with the exception of Alfred Bester of "The Stars My Destination," ever came close to matching van Vogt for headlong, breakneck pacing, or for the electric, ***ling paranoid tension with which he was capable of suffusing his work."--Gardner Dozois
