Preview Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains
“Engdahl has carefully worked out the social structure and ecology of a scientific society that has been transferred to a planet without metals. What’s more, she wrestles with deeply adult problems of an apparently meaningless universe and of a people’s right to know facts that may destroy everything they hold dear.” —_Psychology Today_
“Introspective readers will identify with Noren and his doubts and sense of despair while the general science fiction buff will appreciate the further experiences of Noren within the credibly developed society on a planet unlike Earth.” —_Booklist_
“Andre Norton fans will definitely be interested in the books of Sylvia Louise Engdahl. The present book [on a preceding list of 20 recommended as the best original novels of the year] is a sequel to This Star Shall Abide which I unfortunately missed when it appeared. I’ll try to make up for it by not missing any more.” —_Locus_
“Offers depth and provocative ideas for the mature reader who wants more than just action.” —_Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books_
“Engdahl’s science fiction I cannot praise highly enough. Anyone truly interested in books of philosophical and moral depth for young people should fix her name in his mind.... The questions posed are not easy, the answers are rarely pat, but surely in a time of moral, social, economic and ecological crisis they are extremely relevant.” —_Provident Book Finder_, Scottsdale, Pennsylvania
“The author asks some thought provoking questions.... The ideas of power, heresy, self-knowledge, and acceptance are thoroughly examined in a book that is a testimony to the human spirit.” —_News-Gazette_, Martinez, California
