"While intersecting the previous novel's timeline, it greatly expands the scope and focus of MacLeod's universe...

"The Stone Canal is a fine blend of literary skill and technological ideas, a combination sadly uncommon in today's SF. The novel is heavy in political ideas that fit neither the traditional right nor left spectrum. It is fast-paced in the extreme, and embraces computers and technology with knowledge and understanding, not just as convenient props. And, unlike the prevailing cynicism of cyberpunk, MacLeod tends toward a certain optimism." --Lawrence Person (in Nava Express , Volume 4, Number 4, Winter/Spring 1998).
