A MUST HAVE!, 30 April 2001
By A Customer
Funny! Charming! Gripping! Witty! I can't say enough good things about this book. A MUST HAVE for any serious fantasy and sci-fi enthusiast.Written by three talented, yet "real" authors, Quantum Musings puts their collective literary genius together into one terrific read. I couldn't put it down and I've already read it twice. Where else will you read about a dinner with God, learn about Government "conspiracies" and how sometimes problems can be solved with large powerful handguns all in one book? Fabulous fantasy adventures with realistic, not rehashed, characters. Tales of gritty intergalactic warfare and mystery. All the while exuding a cutting and witty repartee' that would make Dumas (of "The Three Musketeers" fame) proud...Buy the book! You won't be sorry you did

Best time readling I ever had!, 30 April 2001
By A Customer
These writers are crazzy, they are just the kind of people I would love to hang out with and talk about everything. I could not put this book down, and I highly recomend it to anyone who not only wants a good laugh, but wants to read what is lacking in many of writings of our day...wit, and intelligence. Do yourself a favour and read something that wont let you down...this collection of stories. Good job Muse!

See the future NOW (OK, cheesy title, but it works), 30 April 2001
By A Customer
The publishing world is changing - slowly, perhaps so slowly that it's hard to notice - but trust me, it is. POD (that's "Publishing on Demand" for you non-biz people) is really starting to become a viable means of presenting the work of both established and up-and-coming authors in an easy, efficient, and, best of all, cheap manner. So don't scoff at Internet publishing just because it doesn't smell of binding glue. Keeping this in mind, checking out this book is a must if you want to see the future of science fiction. Brought to you by the three men who brought you quantummuse.com (one of the top-rated new sites for science fiction), "Quantum Musings" is a wonderful collection of stories from the website. What makes them such great stories, in my not-so-humble opinion, is that not only are these men writers, they're gigantic fans of the genre, and that helps a lot - they know what works and what doesn't, and their critical minds and knowledge of convention help make for great stories. Of course, sometimes convention gets tossed out the window, and that's all right as well - every genre needs a little shaking up on occasion. And, in the midst of all this, they don't take themselves too seriously, which is an utter blessing. The humor is rampant through the book, both in the stories and sidenotes - trust me, you'll spend a lot of time laughing when you pick up this volume. I guess my only complaint is that it isn't bigger - but I guess that if you take my advice and buy this book, we can expect to see more volumes in the future of some of the best new voices in sci-fi, fantasy, and alternative literature.
