I had the good fortune to recieve an ARC (advanced reader copy) for The Shell Game and provided a blurb for the book's cover (though I have no idea if it will be there when the book comes out in January).

This book is eye opening as it is exciting to read–as unnerving as it is thrilling. It takes a look at the brewing oil crisis in a way that has never, to my knowledge, been done before. This is fiction, but I have a strong feeling it's going to be one of those novels that people look back at in twenty years and say, “Holy crap, how did that author peg the future so accurately?” It's an amazing cautionary tale that I think just about any reader will enjoy...especially those that aren't fans of our current president. :)

I'm really looking forward to the bee's nest this book stirs when it comes out. From what I've heard, Steve will be hitting slews of talk shows including Jon Stewart, so it should be quite the ride. I'm thrilled to have read it already and am glad to spread the word. Buy this book, you won't regret it!
