Great review! Not that I'm biased or anything...

Incidentally, that was my hundredth published review; I'm glad it was for such a good book.

A very detailed review of CONE ZERO in THE FIX:
http://thefix-online.com/reviews/cone-zero-nemonymous-8/

"'cone zero' ... the transition from reality to something else—fantasy, dreams, maybe madness."

That's really whetted my appetite, Des - some really interesting ideas, by the sounds of it. Must get round to reading it soon! (though first I have to finish a lit crit book, a historical thriller, and the last book of the Alexandria Quartet!)

Thanks, Mike.

Meanwhile...
A Black Hole needs an 'exit cone'. Hence CONE ZERO.
Tomorrow we find out...
.
... hence the lemniscate on the cover of Nemo (200)8

Hence, too:
The Fix Review of 'Cone Zero says:
"You can see it coming, of course. It's like watching a disaster from a distance and being powerless to stop it."

STOP PRESS: A Black Hole needs an 'exit cone'. Hence CONE ZERO. Hence the lemniscate on the cover of Nemonymous (200)8. The Fix Review of 'Cone Zero' says: "You can see it coming, of course. It's like watching a disaster from a distance and being powerless to stop it." But Cone Zero as safety valve is currently saving the world! The Power of Imagination as prophylactic.

SFRevu of CONE ZERO:
http://www.sfrevu.com/php/Review-id.php?id=8176

"Overall, the stories are well-written and engaging, and the best of
them inspire introspective paths of thought, or simply won't leave your
memory once ensconced therein."

Another CONE ZERO review at the bottom of the page below. (Despite not liking SF, the reviewer still seems to love a lot of the stories!)

Another review linked from here:
http://www.fright.com/edge/index.html
"A wildly unexpected, utterly unpredicatable anthology of horror, sci fi and who-knows-what!"

Is http://tff-reviews.blogspot.com/2008/12/nemonymous-8-2008-rev-terry-grimwood.html really such a hard URL to enter? Wink

(On a one-man crusade against Tiny URLs...)

Anyway, it seems to have been a great anthology. Congrats on all the strong reviews.

Sorry, Djibril, but some URLs as long as that smetimes get mangled and unuseable in certain formats of communication.
Thanks, btw, for organising Terry Grimwood to do a review of Cone Zero.

Only two people have so far entered and the best has only two right!!
I salted away £50 from Zencore proceeds for this and I want it to go to a decent home - i.e. someone who can at least guess good!
