'As with Calder's previous novels, the main attraction is not
so much the plot as the very bizarre lens through which the author
views his created worlds, and the complexity of his intelligent and
sometimes hallucinatory prose … For those seeking originality of
vision, this is a winner.'
Science Fiction
Chronicle
'There's an individual vision here, which'll certainly appeal
to those with a taste for cyberpunk, wild sexual attitudes and
obscure words.'
SFX Magazine
'Frenzetta … is … set in a fictional universe unlike anything
Calder - or for that matter anyone else - has given us before. Here
we have a richly baroque and decadent future Earth mutated into a
complexity and strangeness that I could not begin to describe here,
but which Calder renders admirably, fully, and deeply, in a prose
style … richly powerful but … well under
control.'
Asimov's
