Some more quickie bits and bytes about my upcoming thriller,\u00a0ZER\u2205ES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Hey, Kirkus reviewed it! You can read the whole review here<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (features a lot of plot and character details), or just behold the majesty of this quote:<\/p>\n

“This is an ambitious, bleeding-edge piece of speculative fiction that combines hacker lore, wet-wired horror, and contemporary paranoia in a propulsive adventure that\u2019s bound to keep readers on their toes. An action-packed yet cerebral thriller that lives in that murky nexus between today and the future.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Woo! I’m going to sit around and bask in that one for a while, thanks.<\/p>\n

\u2022 One of my online heroes, author and futurist bad-ass Ramez Naam, has blurbed the book thusly:<\/p>\n

“A sci-fi surveillance thriller with a twisted heart of creepy horror. It grabs you by the throat\u00a0on page one, and never lets go.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mez is brilliant at bringing the truth hammer down online when it comes to bad science and cuckoo ideas. I’ve seen him speak, and he’s really got a keen eye cast forward\u00a0toward what the future might hold. And no better example exists than his own high-tech near-future trilogy, starting with Nexus<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Also: follow him @ramez<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Or I’ll punch you.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A reminder that I’ll be pre-launching ZEROES<\/b> at my hometown bookstore, Doylestown Bookshop, on 8\/17 at 6:30PM. Details here at the bookstore’s website<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 And the launch itself will happen on 8\/18 at Joseph Beth Bookstore<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in Lexington, KY…<\/p>\n

\u2022 With a followup to one of my favorites, WORD<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in Brooklyn where you also get Daniel Jose Older…<\/p>\n

\u2022 And an eventual stop at Murder by the Book<\/strong><\/a> in Houston!<\/p>\n

\u2022 More to come (and stops at Gen-Con, SDCC, Dragon-Con, and Decatur Book-Fest).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Okay, so\u00a0unrelated<\/em> to the book but hey don’t forget — you’ve got just over a week to get in on the REVENGE OF THE AWKWARD AUTHOR PHOTO contest<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyway!<\/p>\n

You can preorder ZEROES now from one of the bookstores noted above\u00a0—<\/p>\n
