For "Harry the Crow": "The twelfth issue of Aeon Speculative Fiction contains a range of agreeable stories, of which the best are "Harry the Crow" by John Kratman and "Moonlight on the Carpet" by David Levine. In "Harry the Crow", a near-future Native American tribe still follows the old ways of establishing proper manhood and warriorhood, and a member of the lodge becomes determined to initiate his construct, a robot friend, among the elect. This happens in first humorous and then dangerous ways, amounting in the end to a cunningly revisionist tall tale." --Nick Gevers in Locus "The humor is funny and the characters believable...'Harry the Crow' doesn’t end with a droll punch line but with a chilling realization that says something important about what it might mean to be human. Very enjoyable." --Marshall Payne in The Fix. For "Old Folks' Home": "Here's a good idea– a retirement home in space...A light piece of story, on the heartwarming side." --Lois Tilton in The Internet Review of Science Fiction. For "Churel": "Mutiny and murder come to life in this exotic monster story." --Michele Lee at her Booklove blog. "The story is well told, with excellent pacing, flashes of local detail that enhance the verisimilitude, a hero we can care about and a monster that is a little bit out of the ordinary, though no less fearsome for that." --Peter Tenannt at Web Whisperin'. For "Nanuq": "'Nanuq' is a nice survival tale with compelling characters." --Aimee Poynter at Tangent Online
