Editorial Reviews
Review
The Cube has something for every reader. It’s a masterpiece of hard science fiction, with a brilliantly conceived universe of an alternative set of physical laws. It’s a political thriller, full of intrigue and espionage, with one of the most ingenious interrogation scenes ever written in anti-utopian fiction. It’s a steamy sexual thriller, a moving love story. And it’s a mystery that keeps your heart beating fast to the end. It’s the kind of novel that keeps you up late at night, because you can’t wait to find out what happens…–Elizabeth Anderson, John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy and Women’s Studies, University of Michigan Ann Arbor
The Cube is a great novel in the tradition of speculative fiction made popular by Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984. This novel has everything to please readers: an original science fiction plot, a moving love story, and a compelling and timely political allegory. A great read for fiction lovers, not just for science fiction readers.–D. R. Popa
