Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

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.
