Run to the Stars

Run to the Stars is a novel in which the hero must overcome the corrupt government of Earth and escape.[1]

Dave Langford reviewed Run to the Stars for White Dwarf #40, and stated that "Though slow-moving to begin with, and relying on a truly boggling coincidence at the climax, this is a superior SF adventure from an author I know well (bias declared) and whom I hate for getting a fanletter from Ursula Le Guin on his first published story."[1]

Dave Pringle reviewed Run to the Stars for Imagine magazine, and stated that "At base it's a conventional SF scenario: muscular hero and sexy-but-brainy girlfriend escape from a bureaucratic Earth and make their romantic run to the stars. However, it is all done with marvellous bravura and the narrative fairly crackles with energy. 'Banzai! Arrigato!'"[2]
