 Dear Bookseller:
You hold in your hands my latest deathless prose, sure to be remembered in the history of literature alongside such giants as Moby Dick, King Lear and The Princess Diaries.
In seriousness (mostly), Into the Looking Glass
is somewhat of a departure for me in that it explores some very hard SF
areas. Whereas my previous books had been good primers on basic
"futurist" principles, Into the Looking Glass, in the guise of
an action filled romp with evil monsters attacking earth and good guy
humans fending them off, is really a walk into the fascinating world of
sub-atomic particles and quantum mechanics. I worked closely with
Doctor Travis Taylor, Ph.D. on the novel. Furthermore, he and I will be
collaborating on a series to follow, tentatively entitled the Voyage of
the Space Bubble wherein the (few surviving) characters from Into the Looking Glass will venture into the galactic fold and undoubtedly be folded. (And spindled and quite probably mutilated.)
Fear not, for tho
you walk through the valley of the shadow of actual hard science
fiction, my characters and my action, they shall comfort you! The novel
is a mixture of combat SF, hard science fiction and Alice in Wonderland. Thus, obviously, the title.
I hope you enjoy
it, and if you don't strange things from the Eighth Dimension will eat
you. So like it! That's an order! Harumph!
