Reception

[edit]

Dave Langford reviewed Mute for White Dwarf #55, and stated that "Parts are exciting; parts are risible; Anthony's tortuously fair conclusion may surprise trad space-opera fans. His heart's in the right place, but he isn't half verbose and didactic. Better, anyway, than his fantasies."[1]
