"An unassuming hero on a far-future depopulated Earth goes in search of 'the- Place of Going to the Stars.' Along the way he picks up the usual troupe of Simakian boon companions. Effective, if repetitive, sentimental adventure." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 171.
