The Monitor: This fascinating novel subverts Pygmalion, rags-to-riches and boy-meets-girl tropes to memorable effect….The narrative style is a delightful pastiche of Georgian and Victorian suffused with striking sensuality and modern sensibilities, as if Charles Dickens and Jane Austen had a child together and raised her on shojo and yaoi manga. The voice of the Pleasure Merchant’s apprentice will stay with you for days.
Kirkus: I missed Stinger when in first came out in the late 1980s, but the new reprint from Subterranean Press is the perfect chance to correct that oversight. The story takes place over a 24-hour period in Inferno, Texas—a town that’s already primed for trouble because of racial tension, a poor economy, and gang violence. Things ignite when two unidentified flying objects land nearby, thus beginning a battle in an interstellar war that spells trouble for the small Texas town. The unidentified objects are actually visitors from another world. One of them is an alien bounty hunter known as Stinger, and the complete destruction of an alien town is a small price to pay to capture his deadly prey.

Locus: One of McCammon’s great achievements in this novel is the horrifying sense he conveys of humanity reduced to the equivalent of so many ants in a field, being stomped on by warring combatants. The scenes of battle between the two armies and the firepower and weapons they yield are spectacular and vivid. […] Readers familiar with Stinger will find that many of the relationships, interactions, and plot twists in that novel resonate with those in The Border, though without directly paralleling them. It’s a credit to McCammon’s craft as a writer that two books separated by almost 30 years show such a consistency of vision and imagination.
