Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

Location: west virginia		I was amazed and honored that he read and blurbed my novel:

"A fun, sometimes cleverly-gonzo, and even inspiring tale about an undaunted girl's close encounter of the weird kind." -- David Brin

As most everybody here knows, especially since he's listed as a famous author on this site, Mr. Brin is an American scientist and author of science fiction. He has received the Hugo, Locus, Campbell and Nebula Awards. His novel, The Postman, was adapted as a feature film and starred Kevin Costner in 1997.

That?s fantastic, Robert! Getting a blurb from David Brin must be such a rewarding moment. I can only imagine how it feels to have someone with his experience and recognition in sci-fi give your work a nod. I?ve always enjoyed his work too, especially The Postman, so it?s great to see your novel getting the attention it deserves. It sounds like you?ve really got something special with Rarity from the Hollow.
