GONZO’S GIANT PROBOSCIS!!!  Echo Volume 1 was just treated to an extremely kind 4-star review by a Sydney B. Dent!  Thank You So Much Sydney!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂  Positive encouragement like yours fuels the literary fires, and now I just got my mug of coffee and I’m about to get cracking on some editing!  Thank You!!!!  Review is below:

“Mr Wayne writes a tight opening novel to a series. It starts a bit slow but gathers momentum quickly. Wayne has built a complex dystopian future. Humanity has left Earth due to resource short comings. They settle on Echo and begin again. 1200 years later, Echo is 1000 years into a dark age. It is ruled by the dictatorial Regime and police and military enforce its will. Atriya is an elite soldier who is starting to question his purpose in life. He no longer feels satisfied with the missions. He wants more challenges and more chances to prove his worth. But is that really a life goal?
Wayne’s science is fantastic. He describes weapons and life in astonishing and vivid detail. He also describes combat, whether it is hand to hand in an alley or the melees of war, with incredible detail and believability. One should be warned this is a violent novel. I find his characters very well written with loads of potential for future. Atriya isn’t very likable – that is not his job. But, he is asking the right questions and the people who fear him are far worse. I look forward to the next installment.”
