"A well-conceived, well-executed novel."
- The New York Times Book Review on Alien Influences

"Rusch isn't here on this Earth to hand out easy answers. Alien Influences is, like all her work, memorable, enthralling, and ... there are always more questions after the final page."
- SF Site on Alien Influences

"[Rusch]'s examination of the heights and depths of the human spirit is what engages and ultimately satisfies."
- Publisher's Weekly on Alien Influences
