Echo1 becomes an endearing character ... BOOK REVIEW!


"With unmatched compassion for those he wishes to save, Echo1 becomes an endearing character you surely will admire...Readers are rewarded with an unpredictable plot that moves along swiftly. 

The pair of books would make a perfect gift for the science fiction loving kid in our present world." -- Always in the Middle, US Blog, Dec 16, 2022

It's a 5 Star Review for OCULUM ECHO!

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"A very well-written and an imaginative description of a
 future world struggling to survive, the story ends on a positive note and a hint, at least to this reader, there could be more to come. 5/5, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

CM Magazine September 30/2022

Well, a wonderful review for OCULUM ECHO is out, and it's a FULL 5/5 STARS! 

Thank you to CM Magazine, a review site dedicated to reviewing Canadian books for young readers. In 13 years of publishing books, this is my first 5/5 star rating from them. Although I've come close before, it's pretty special to get a top shelf rating from them, they seldom give five stars.

Waiting for reviews of your new book is always a study in patience and fortitude, so I'm very appreciative and grateful for this review for OCULUM ECHO. Thank you to my wonderful publisher DCB Young Readers, for inviting me back into this world!

As the cover suggests, ECHO is an intelligence created by us, a robot, part Mr. Data from TNG (iykyk), part Shelley-an creation, part Murderbot, part every AI I've ever met or read in a lifetime of reading, watching and absorbing literature and science fiction. I hope you are fascinated and moved by Echo1, Peregrine (Echo's video drone falcon), and Guide, Echo's teacher and well, guide.

Call me Echo ... and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. I'm feeling very cryptic today!
