PositiveArkansas Democrat GazetteThere was something about The Sun Collective, Baxter\'s sixth novel, reminiscent of Saul and Patsy and not in the superficial resemblance some characters in the present book bear to some in the older one. It\'s more in Baxter\'s reflexive humanism, or the reflexive humanism expressed by his characters ... Toward the end of the novel events begin to pile up like a chain reaction of rear-enders on a freeway, but Baxter manages to retain control of the narrative, delivering us to our destination even as firecrackers explode and shrapnel sings through the air.
