Taylor Buck liked Matt Egan's review of AQUEOUS: A Subterranean Thriller (Continuum Book 1): "A truly unique thriller! Aqueous is a sci-fi/horror thriller that's truly different from others available. Think about Michael Crichton's 'Prey' meets Jeff VanderMeer's 'Annihilation' + a hefty dose of psychedelia, yet entirely different from either. " Read more of this review »

“The blend between actual reality and VA-managed reality will evolve and develop into a standard of living. Eventually, Virtual Agents will be so in control of our daily lives that humans will cease to recall a time where decisions were made based entirely on ones own principles.”
