Reviews

According to Publishers Weekly , his novel "The Electronic Monk" is a techno thriller with enough fire and explosions to please any Hollywood producer.

Furthermore, I09.com writes about "The digital plague": "A fast-paced story with cool technologies and well-written action scenes that drive the plot forward with perfect dynamics." and sfsite.com describes "The Eternal Prison" as a great adventure, dark cyberpunk - science fiction with the right mix of fatalism and courage, spiced with lots of gunfights and black humor.
