Challenging Destiny, April 2000 Polish science fiction editor and critic,
Maciej Parowski, positively commented on the anthology in his 2011 book
Małpy Pana Boga – Słowa, noting that it was a well executed difficult endeavour, difficult because the writers were limited by the theme (reactions of the famous individuals to the Martian invasion). He singled out stories by
Tiedemann and
Wolverton as particularly notable. == Impact ==
