Review :
"Paul Levinson has outdone himself: The Plot to Save Socrates is a philosophically rich gem full of big ideas. -- Robert J. Sawyer "Paul Levinson''s The Plot to Save Socrates ties complicated knots in time." -- Brian Stableford "This is a dazzling performance, simultaneously propounds and explodes the issue of time paradox. . . .History as science fiction; science fiction as history." -- Barry N. Malzberg "Paul Levinson has outdone himself: "The Plot to Save Socrates" is a philosophically rich gem full of big ideas and wonderful time-travel tricks. Science-fiction fans will, of course, love it, but this cracking-good yarn should have lots of out-of-genre appeal, too." --Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of "Hominids" and "Mindscan" "Paul Levinson's "The Plot to Save Socrates" ties complicated knots in time while always keeping its plot moving at a sprightly pace and occasionally finding time to raise a cheer or two for democracy, the necessity of critical thought and the virtue of perseverance in the cause of progress. It proves that excellent entertainment can and ought to be intellectually respectable--a glorious example to us all." --Brian Stableford "This is a dazzling performance, simultaneously propounds and explodes the issue of time paradox. . . .History as science fiction; science fiction as history." --Barry N. Malzberg "Paul Levinson''s "The Plot to Save Socrates" ties complicated knots in time." "Paul Levinson's "The Plot to Save Socrates" ties complicated knots in time."
