--Booklist
"One of the best collections of the year."

| Rifters III: Behemoth |
| Peter Watts ( - ) http://www.rifters.com |
ßehemoth ... is the most gripping and the most thought-out [book that Watts has yet written] ... Like Greg Egan's "Reasons to be Cheerful", Watts is arguing for an entirely different way of understanding and presenting character, one that reconfigures both how personality is constructed and how actions are to be understood. This seems to me a unique and particularly science-fictional contribution ... For all Watts's dark humor, and for all the incidental thrills of his future, ßehemoth caps a series which is one of the two or three most challenging works I've read in the last decade. - Graham Sleight, The NY Review of Science Fiction
