Praise for Scott Azmus:
“Reminiscent of the fine tales of Ray Bradbury or Zenna Henderson—the kinds of stories that will always be in demand.” —Dave Wolverton, Writers of the Future
“Shocking. Quirky. Intriguing. Irresistible stories in a very human context that will keep you up reading until the early hours!”
“As a standout voice in science fiction and alien contact, Azmus writes about consciousness, creativity, emerging technologies, and what it means to be human.” —Algis Budrys
