Editorial Reviews

Saberhagen is quite artful in presenting enough of the White Bull's background and aims to make him somewhat comprehensible while still leaving him both alien and mysterious, and in telling a complete story while making clear that still more stories could be told to illuminate the setting. Worth reading�

Amazon - Michele Worley

The White Bull tells the story of Daedalus and the Minotaur, with science fiction elements replacing the acts of the gods. It was fun to see the author stick to the mythology while coming up with explanations for the fantastical elements.

I enjoyed the book and will read others by Mr Saberhagen. I already have a couple of his Berserker books and his Empire of the East trilogy lined up.

Goodreads - J Seger9000

The bull's school is a clever parody of the ridiculous aspects of the university system; the book itself is divided into sections named after the various stages of study at university. An entertaining read even if this subtlety is lost on you, a good yarn about alien invaders in Greek times.
