"Martin Rees and Mitchell Begelman are probably the world's leading authorities on the astrophysics of black holes."--Stephen W. Hawking

"Martin Rees is one of the great astronomers of our generation, and this felicitous collaboration with Mitchell Begelman brings alive a subject replete with wonder and mystery-- without losing the hard edge of scientific rigour. An exhilarating read!"--Paul Davies, author of The Mind of God: The Scientific Basis for a Rational World

"Martin Rees and Mitchell Begelman have provided us with a dramatic, elegant, and fully authoritative account of [black holes], and of how they fit into our modern picture of the Universe."--Roger Penrose, author of The Emperor's New Mind

"A terrific book. I doubt that you could find a more comprehensive and authoritative popular account of this spectacular subject."--New Scientist

"An excellent beginner's account of the discovery of black holes and their importance in astrophysics today."--Sky and Telescope
