Praise for Falcon's Egg
'In Falcon's Egg, Edward Willett takes on the notion of heroism itself, exploring the casualties of war and the results of battle on the psychology of the protagonist who has endured the traumas of war. Falcon's Egg is a text of revolution, a war narrative with a bit of frontier ideologies since it is set on an alien world that is in conflict with the more technologically developed centrist planets. However, unlike most exploration, war, revolution, and adventure narratives who uncritically cast the hero as a figure who is above trauma, Willett's narrative explores the toll that heroism takes on the mind of the hero as well as the toll that it takes on human lives and society.' - Derek Newman-Stille, Speculating Canada
'Falcon's Egg by Edward Willett is space opera/action-adventure novel in the grand tradition, full of interplanetary intrigue, chases through the abandoned bowels of giant spaceships, and shootouts with everything from shotgun shells to beam weapons. Oh, and there's an army of evil robot spiders. This book is a fun, easy read, and I got through it in two nights.' - Ty Black, Dark Futures Fiction
