“This is a wonderful book. It accomplishes exactly what I look for in a good SF novel. Rayner creates an interesting, strange, and yet somewhat plausible world and then populates that world with compelling characters. I found myself caring about these characters, not just the inexplicably immortal Mozart, but all the motley bunch that have found themselves citizens of Ipolis, including the character of Ipolis her/he/itself. (It stands to reason that, if smart people can be real boneheads, that honour shouldn’t be limited to just biological sentience.) Rayner managed the progress of the story with a sure hand and flare for humour. I enjoyed reading The Amadeus Net very much and am looking to future titles from this author.”
