Reception

Howard Thompson reviewed The Web of the Chozen in The Space Gamer No. 15. [1] Thompson commented that "The redeeming feature of The Web of the Chozen is that some of the ideas are interesting and, in selected spots, are handled with moderate style. It would be far more interesting if the characters could be seen side ways, and did more than walk through their lines." [1]
