ReviewPraise for *Million Mile Road Trip:
" *Tipping his hat to Thomas Pynchon, Jack Kerouac, and Douglas Adams , Rucker immerses readers in a fantastical roadtrip adventure that’s a wild ride of unmitigated joy. . . . he ties everything together with internal consistency, playful use of language that keeps his ideas alien yet accessible, and a solid grounding in fourth-dimensional math. This wacky adventure is a geeky reader’s delight."— Publishers Weekly , starred review**
"One of those journey-means-more-than-the-destination kind of things — a true road trip novel — with Rucker just letting it all hang out . . . you just jump in and hang on , warmed by the goofball joy of it all, buoyed up by the high, jazz-cat bebop of the language, the glazed stoner rhythms. And by the end of it, your mind will be inevitably expanded—open to the possibility of almost anything. " —Jason Sheehan, NPR
" Rucker has outdone himself in creating the most bizarre and surreal and overstuffed cosmic ecology of his career. The vast majority of the concepts are brand new. And the abundance of alien characters is the richest yet of his oeuvre. Yes, it’s all obvious now— Rucker is Lennon & McCartney rolled up into one."—Paul Di Filippo, Locus
“Given all that’s come and gone in science fiction, Rucker’s Million Mile Road Trip *brings us to some very fresh territory.”— Electric Review*
“ A trippy adventure that would make Gulliver and Candide’s heads spin.”— Amazing Stories
“Jack Kerouac may have his name in the canons of literature as ‘that guy who wrote the ultimate road trip book’, but I daresay that for as dynamic and shifting as On the Road is, Million Mile Road Trip runs through the cosmos and back in the same time without losing any of its humanity. . . . Do yourself a favor if you haven’t read Rucker, light a candle for the saint and buy Million Mile Road Trip. It will wash away the sins of the mediocre, derivative material flooding the market today and cleanse your science fiction soul. ”— Speculiction
“Million Mile Road Trip is unlike any journey you’ve ever been on. Rucker takes the wheel and slams through barriers into a world that bursts with originality and inventiveness. I’m new to Rucker’s work and this surreal experience makes me want to stop what I’m doing and read everything he’s written in a feverish marathon. . . . Overall, it’s impossible not to love Million Mile Road Trip. With a wild cast of characters, an alien world that boggles the mind, and extremely spot-on writing, *Rucker has created a masterpiece that must be experienced.”— Reviews & Robots*
