"..perhaps the most significant work BJB produced in the 1970s was in short fiction, most of it collected [here], a remarkable (though astonishingly bleak) assembly of experiments in the carrying of story ideas to the end of their tether."
- John Clute
"[Knights Of The Limits] makes astonishing reading. It reminds one that the power of British New Wave was not due to its decalcifying treatment of sex or the fact that much of its readership was stoned. Those ephemera blew away with the hash fumes over Ladbroke Grove. What is left is sheer visionary intensity, which Bayley has always had and displays today even more vigorously."
--Bruce Sterling
"The cream of Bayley's short fiction... complex, innovative, bold and striking."
--Brian Stableford, Vector
"These stories have all the distinguishing marks of Bayley's novels: typically a tightly controlled society is shattered by some technological or scientific development. [...] the ideas are the thing, and Bayley has more of them than almost anybody else."
--David Pringle
