Here is my review of Press Heart to Join
,
by Eric Gibson. A very entertaining read with a notable degree of originality for the genre. ]]> Review5996836923 Thu, 23 Nov 2023 00:57:55 -0800 /review/show/5996836923 David gave 4 stars to Press Heart to Join (Kindle Edition) by Eric Gibson
bookshelves: sf, suspense, romance, indie, intrigue, dystopia, humerus
An engaging couple and a gripping story, sprinkled with some delightful comic lines, made this a very enjoyable ride. The nefarious causes of life-threatening events emerged from the shadows through the course of the story; the way Gibson handled this was outstanding. The chemistry between Maude and Hale worked well, and the setting - lives built around VR and lived half-in, half-out of it was superbly executed. I felt that the tempo could have been a little quicker, but it was not slow. As dystopian SF goes, this was a fine example of a tale woven by an author who has given serious thought to the key concepts. Strongly recommended to readers who are fans of (urban) dystopian SF, romance, and VR gaming. Speaking for myself, I'll be happy to buy another of Gibson's books. ]]> AuthorFollowing97579285 Thu, 23 Nov 2023 00:51:51 -0800 Comment268167358 Wed, 22 Nov 2023 18:43:41 -0800 /topic/show/19734778-lurkers-lounge David made a comment in the Get Reviews! group:

Hi Eric, I like the looks of Press Heart to Join, and at only a dollar have already bought a copy on Amazon, and should give you a review within 3 days.
One suggestion on the book info: change 'Self-Published' to an imprint name. You can make one up, as long as it doesn't duplicate an existing business. Telling people straight up that this is a self-published book will do you no favors. ]]> Comment267682212 Thu, 09 Nov 2023 08:07:50 -0800 /author_blog_posts/24210575-seared-green-spring David made a comment on Seared Green Spring
