Critics Review
Spellbinding
Superb. In Gene, Dee has invented a narrator with whom most readers will empathize, and placed him in a situation that is simultaneously real and surreal.

Quietly gripping and controlled. The Liberty Campaign will set thoughtful minds abuzz. - New York TimesSpellbinding - KirkusAbout The Author
