Konstantin and 4 other people liked Vít's review of Hranice: "I druhá část trilogie z mexické hranice je pořádně temný příběh. Oproti prvnímu dílu možná trochu méně akce a více filozofie, přesto (nebo právě proto) pořád kniha, od které se neodtrhnete."

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
