Effacement

"This book demands our attention and posits the arrival of a genuinely gifted author. Very highly recommended."

"Brilliant! The writer had me hooked immediately."

"But the real power here is in the novel's theme--humanity's increasing hyperconnectivity, and the unforeseen consequences of that persistent connection. One excerpt from the novel speaks volumes: 'Oh, I don't blame them. I blame us. We created this environment. Have you ever sat in a restaurant full of young people? It's freakishly quiet. Even in a group setting, they don't talk to each other like we're doing now. They just sit there, staring into space. It's like eating in a restaurant full of zombies.'"

"Brilliantly plotted and skillfully written, Effacement by Hieronymus Hawkes is a great book that will fill you with unease."

"Couldn't put it down! Loved the character development. Found myself with a secret crush on one of the characters."

"The story was great, kept me turning the pages to find out what happened next."

"What I really loved was the competent women in this book. There are five very competent women, who are friends or lovers. Cole respects each of them for their strengths even when he's in conflict with them. None of them are throw away sirens or damsels."

"If you like futuristic stories, give this one a try. It held my interest all the way to the end!"
