“Pohl is still a master of everything that goes into a cracking good novel, and for this one has clearly boned up on vulcanology to boot. A masterful work from a grand master.”
—Booklist
“Pohl, named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, spins an entertaining futuristic thriller with several thought-provoking threads ranging from the ethics of biotechnology to the fragility of the global economy.” —Library Journal
“This seminihilistic novel, reminiscent of Mining the Oort and The Cool War, is not among Pohl's best only because the Grand Master's previous novels have set such a high standard, and it stands as a demonstration of his continuing strengths in the eighth decade of his career.” —Publishers Weekly
“Always a pleasure to welcome a new Pohl, even when, as here, he's transmitting a decidedly ambiguous message.” —Kirkus Reviews
“The book is narrated...with charming innocence and seeming honesty about his failings. All the Lives He Led is a worthy addition to a long and distinguished career.” —The Denver Post
“Pohl proves once again that he deserves every one of his multiple awards in the field. At his game, no other writer in the field can match him.” —Frank M. Robinson, editor of Science Fiction of the 20th Century
