The most
enjoyable science fiction novel I have read in several years
Rarity from the Hollow by Robert Eggleton is the most enjoyable science fiction novel I have read in several years. Who could think of an intergalactic handbook for entrepreneurs? Who could turn a tree-hugger into a paranormal event of death-defying significance? Who could create characters so believable, so funny, so astonishingly human (and not)? Robert Eggleton, that’s who. I put this book on my IPhone, and it followed me everywhere for several days. Strangers smiled politely at my unexpected laughter in the men’s room toilet stall. They looked away as I emerged, waving the IPhone at them as if it might explain something significant. Oddly, the novel explains a great deal that has become significant in our society. Rarity from the Hollow is satire at its best and highest level. It is a psychological thriller, true to traits of mankind (and other species). It is an animal rights dissertation (you will laugh when you understand why I write that). It celebrates the vilest insect on earth (make that Universe). The characters created by Robert
Eggleton 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. -- Temple Emmet Williams, Author, Former Reader’s Digest Editor http://warriorpatient.com/blog/2015/05/18/58/ - http://warriorpatient.com/blog/2015/05/18/58/

"Rarity from the Hollow is an original, interesting, naughty story of a backwoods girl, who saves the Universe, in her fashion. Not for the prudish." -- Piers Anthony, N.Y. Times Best Selling Author |

...I can’t really get into how Lacy Dawn is expected to save the universe, nor
what she’s supposed to save it from, since a large portion of the book is
occupied with figuring out those two pieces of information. I will say that the
book drew me in well enough that I really wanted to know how they would pull it
off, and I enjoyed the payoff.
