''[[The New York Times]]'' called it an "appallingly inventive plot."<ref>Books of The Times: Great Experiments in Living

In a 2011 review for ''[[The Guardian]]'', Sophia Martelli wrote: "Although the book is now fairly dated, at the time of publication the inclusion of real or near-real characters (Mengele's nemesis Liebermann is a conflation of Nazi hunters such as Simon Wiesenthal and [[Serge Klarsfeld]], who attempted to capture Mengele in South America) must have added a chilling dimension. What scares today is Levin's premise based on biological engineering: in the 1970s, although scientifically possible, Mengele's plan belonged firmly in the realm of fiction; now it's not nearly so far-fetched."<ref name="GuardDog"/>
