...I can’t really get into how Lacy Dawn is expected to save the universe, norwhat she’s supposed to save it from, since a large portion of the book isoccupied with figuring out those two pieces of information. I will say that thebook drew me in well enough that I really wanted to know how they would pull itoff, and I enjoyed the payoff.

The mostenjoyable science fiction novel I have read in several years

Rarity from the Hollow by Robert Eggleton is the mostenjoyable science fiction novel I have read in several years. Who could thinkof an intergalactic handbook for entrepreneurs? Who could turn a tree-huggerinto a paranormal event of death-defying significance? Who could createcharacters so believable, so funny, so astonishingly human (and not)?

Robert Eggleton, that’s who.

I put this book on my IPhone, and itfollowed me everywhere for several days. Strangers smiled politely at my unexpectedlaughter in the men’s room toilet stall. They looked away as I emerged, wavingthe IPhone at them as if it might explain something significant.

Oddly, the novel explains a great dealthat has become significant in our society. Rarity from the Hollow is satire atits best and highest level. It is a psychological thriller, true to traits ofmankind (and other species). It is an animal rights dissertation (you willlaugh when you understand why I write that). It celebrates the vilest insect onearth (make that Universe).

The characters created by RobertEggleton will bug your brain long after you smoke, uh, read the final page.Thanks for the laughs, the serious thoughts, the absolute wonder of your mind,Mr. Eggleton. A truly magnificent job.
