Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Starburst for White Dwarf #54, and stated that "OK at novelette length but Pohl just hinted at the details of their offstage apotheosis: but the more you hear about it the less likely it sounds, and the book becomes a prolonged anticlimax. A smooth read, yes, but the original story is diluted to insipidity."[1]
