Aurora is a magnificent piece of writing, certainly Robinson's best novel since his mighty Mars trilogy, perhaps his best ever
Aurora is a brilliant book. It is a challenging book. It is one that I savored, that I devoted all my attention towards, that I loved with every fiber of my being. It is one of the best books of science fiction I've read, and the best book I've read all year
If Interstellar left you wanting more, then this novel might just fill that longing
Robinson creates an absolutely convincing population of generations yielding to generations . . . [A] near-perfect marriage of the technical and the psychological
Aurora is Robinson's best book yet . . . Heart-wrenching, provocative
An accessible novel packed with big ideas, wonders, jeopardy and, at the end, a real emotional punch
This ambitious hard SF epic shows Robinson at the top of his game
[Robinson is] a rare contemporary writer to earn a reputation on par with earlier masters such as Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke.
Humanity's first trip to another star is incredibly ambitious, impeccably planned and executed on a grand scale in Aurora.
This is hard SF the way it's mean to be written: technical, scientific, with big ideas and a fully realized society. Robinson is an acknowledged sf master-his Mars trilogy and his stand-alone novel 2312 (2012) were multiple award winners and nominees-and this latest novel is sure to be a big hit with devoted fans of old-school science fiction.
Aurora is the best book I read in 2015
A rousing tribute to the human spirit.
