• “It was a very inspired decision since the first 200 or so pages of The Desert Spear that deal with the Krasian culture and recount the tale of Jardir and Abban from early childhood friendship, to how their fates separated and then reunited later put both the title novella of "The Great Bazaar" and the relatively short time that Arles spends with the Krasians in clear focus.”

• “Overall "The Great Bazaar and Other Stories" is an excellent addition to the Peter Brett canon, though I strongly recommend reading the title novella after those pages from The Desert Spear since that way you will get the most out of it.”

• “Spanning 516 years of history, the six short stories and the title novella that make up A Second Chance at Eden chronicle humanity's first faltering steps into space, the colonisation of other worlds and the huge schism along ideological and religious grounds that splits the human race in two, the Adamists and Edenists.”

• “Border Town Girl, the title novella, is more conventional Fifties crime fiction but is a muscular adventure tale ripe with sex, twisted violence and JDM's painterly descriptions of life on the Tex-Mex border.”

• “In the title novella a fundamentalist teenager must single-handedly confront the horrors of a spiritual quest filled with secular humanists, an apocalyptic folk artist, and a malfunctioning breast.”
