C.K. Phillips liked Aidan Lloyd's review of The Bullet Theory: A Bronco Slade and Abby Malone Technothriller (A Slade & Malone Mystery): "I picked this up because of the whole axolotl regeneration idea, but I stayed for Bronco and Abby. The case got way bigger than I expected. It didn’t feel like just a kidnapping at all by the middle of the book."

C.K. Phillips liked James's review of The Bullet Theory: A Bronco Slade and Abby Malone Technothriller (A Slade & Malone Mystery): "Bronco’s connection to the whole idea of losing and restoring body parts hit harder than I expected. It made his decisions feel more emotional than just “solve the case.”"

C.K. Phillips answered Winifred Clarke's question: How did you develop the characters Phil and Cyndi Kent? Hello, Winifred.
