"The style of Becke's stories is unpretentious, with a rawness and intensity that may be labeled realism or naturalism. He was a masterful storyteller who ... could produce a gripping story."
--Nicholas Thomas & Richard Eves, Bad Colonists

"[Becke] merits a secure place in the literary history of the Pacific, primarily because his very lack of polish reflects the rude and lawless period in which he lived. . . .And in his ability to end a story with some apparently irrelevant afterthought, which somehow sums up the entire yarn, and the age, and the ocean, too, Becke is without compare."
--A. Grove Day & James Michener, Rascals in Paradise
