PRAISE FOR ERIC JAMES STONE:
"The author creates a clever plot and characters worth rooting for, all leading to an exciting climax." - Brit Marschalk, Tangent Online
"Stone explores many themes: the nature of life, magic versus technology, magic as technology, moral dilemmas, and self-sacrifice being only a few." - Scott M. Sandridge, The Fix
"This wonderfully written science fiction story deftly pulls off laugh after laugh while also illuminating critical issues surrounding science, religion, culture, and, most importantly, what exactly is that thing we call truth." - Jason Sanford, storySouth
"Eric James Stone manages to combine religion and science in an entertaining, well-plotted tale that doesn't come off as overly preachy." - Rena Hawkins, Tangent Online
