Literary significance and reception
Rhys Hughes, in his survey of Bayley's output, described the novel as "possibly the ultimate time-travel story," noting that, unlike Collision Course, Bayley stuck to his main theme throughout.[1]
John Clute, in the SF Encyclopedia, reviewed The Fall of Chronopolis as Bayley's most successful use of the theme of time travel.[2]
David Pringle's review described the book as "enjoyable" and made note of the philosophy behind Bayley's intricate time paradox.[citation needed]
