Forward "admits that this account of the development of an alien civilization on a neutron star in a morning and an evening is 'practically a ... scientific paper' got up to look like a novel. However the scale and cheekiness of the hard-science speculation inculcate that sense of wonder which most SF readers respond to." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 107.
