Aurora Summary
Aurora Reviews
A rousing tribute to the human spirit. -- SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
[Robinson is] a rare contemporary writer to earn a reputation on par with earlier masters such as Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke. -- CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Humanity's first trip to another star is incredibly ambitious, impeccably planned and executed on a grand scale in Aurora. -- SPACE.COM
This is hard SF the way it's mean to be written: technical, scientific, with big ideas and a fully realized society. Robinson is an acknowledged sf master-his Mars trilogy and his stand-alone novel 2312 (2012) were multiple award winners and nominees-and this latest novel is sure to be a big hit with devoted fans of old-school science fiction. -- BOOKLIST
A magnificent piece of writing . . . perhaps his best ever -- Guardian
Another masterpiece of future-building from Robinson . . . compelling drama * Financial Times *
An accessible novel packed with big ideas, wonders, jeopardy and, at the end, a real emotional punch * SFX *
Aurora is Robinson's best book yet . . . Heart-wrenching, provocative * Scientific American *
The best book I read in 2015 * Cory Doctorow *
This ambitious hard SF epic shows Robinson at the top of his game * Publishers Weekly - starred review *
If Interstellar left you wanting more, then this novel might just fill that longing * io9.com *
Robinson creates an absolutely convincing population of generations yielding to generations . . . [A] near-perfect marriage of the technical and the psychological * NPR Books *
