SF Signal calls Endosymbiont “100% engrossing”!
Another blush-inducing review! And when bald white men blush, lemme tell you there’s a lot of red involved. These comments come from SF Signal. The review of the over all anthology is positive, and I’m thrilled that I was picked out for further remark. Comments relating to Endosymbiont quoted below. You can read the whole review here.
“This is Charlton’s first published work and, if it is any indication of things to come, he will be one to watch.”
“Blake Charlton’s “Endosymbiont” — to put it simply — blew me away. What starts out as the touching personal story of a young girl on chemotherapy soon makes way to things of larger scope and import. It weaves in interesting applications and extrapolations of technology and shows keen insight into interpersonal relationships. While the plot may echo Vernor Vinge and The Matrix, Charlton’s voice is totally his own, drawing upon his medical background to create a story that has big ideas, interesting twists and is 100% engrossing and abundantly satisfying.”

Thanks so much for the kind words and the link from your blog
I’m sorry the bookseller didn’t have a copy of SEEDS for you when you checked. One of the things I’m learning about publishing is that “all release dates are approximte”. Meaning that those dates you see on B&N or Amazon or where ever are guess work. My editor, JJ, thinks that it should be in most stores by the end of August.
