I received a copy of my very first book blurb today. It appears in MultiReal, by David Louis Edelman, and is excerpted from my review of Infoquake, the first novel in the Jump 225 trilogy.
Edelman has succeeded in making the world of the corporate boardroom into an adventure filled narrative. What John Grisham has done with the legal thriller, Edelman has done with business…The climax is fulfilling and exciting, yet it is only a speech, and a marketing one at that. Edelman has so well woven the elements of his plot together that Natch’s simple speech has a much power and excitement to it as another science fiction story’s destruction of a spaceship or a fantasy’s evil overlord dying hideously at the hands of a hero. That takes skill to write, and Edelman has it in spades. I highly recommend this novel.
It appears on page 8 in the Praise for Infoquake section at the beginning of the book. Go take a look at it in your local bookstore and marvel. Better yet, buy MultiReal and Infoquake, and give a good author a boost to his ego, and some cash in his wallet.
Thank you to Pyr for blurbing me and for being one of the best publishers of science fiction there is. Young as you are, your books make reviewing a joy!
