This review is from: Silverthought: Ignition (Hardcover)
The consistent quality of the stories contained in this volume is astounding. During the experience of reading this book, and I mean experience, I was carried to strange lands, involved with the bizarrest circumnstances and continually jolted from my typical perceptions of reality.I urge anyone who has an interest in speculative fiction to seek this book out and read it. You will not, I can assure you, be dissapointed.

One Speculative Fiction Anthology to be reckoned with, 10 Mar 2006
By "The Ninth Doctor" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Silverthought: Ignition (Hardcover)
When I purchased my copy of this anthology, not only was I honored to have one of my stories chosen for it, but with critically acclaimed PRO authors in the field of speculative fiction, this book truly goes beyond the norm and breaks the mold. This hardcover is SOOOO big. And by critically-acclaimed authors, I mean names like Paul Evan Hughes (Broken), Carl Rafala (Wildflower), Oscar Deadwood; the list goes on. The design and layout is like nothing I have ever seen before, the editing superior and very professional. Excluding myself, I must say these truly are the science fiction, spec-fic, horror writers of tomorrow. There are stories about zombies after the wake of a fictional form of Hurricane Katrina, Giant Roaches, Death Robots, Cyberpunk, and a great touch of chilling horror that will leave the reader of these particular genres thinking, wondering "what if", and wanting a whole lot more; and these are not the only ones in this perfect-bound book which will entice the reader. Once again, I am honored to have a story among these greats, to have been chosen, and they truly are the writers of tomorrow's generation. If you're a reader of anthologies in the genre(s), don't hesitate. This is a welcome addition to anyone's collection.
